Story in Brief

The Georgia Structural Pest Control Training facility on the UGA campus in Griffin was built to train and educate termite control companies on the proper treatment of homes and businesses against termites. An addition to the facility was made in 2007, allowing termite control training programs to be expanded. In 2013 the facility's size and scope doubled. In addition to existing termite control programs, components were added that will allow UGA entomologists to add training programs in commercial pest control, schools, bed bugs (a full bedroom has been added), and residential pest control (a full home kitchen has been added). Employees from 125+ pest control companies in 85+ Georgia cites have attended the workshops. Participants also have come from Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, and Maryland.
