This episode we chat to Dr Dini Miller from Virginia Tech. Dini is not only an Associate Professor of Entomology at Virginia Tech but is also the Urban Pest Management Specialist for the state of Virginia. Thanks to Nicky this is another of Jay's bucket list guests ticked off. Dr Miller is an internationally recognized expert in the areas of urban pest management particularly in bedbug and German cockroach management in low income housing. We chat about her world famous cockroach bait taco, assessment based pest management vs integrated pest management, and of course just some of the other research work Dini has been involved in. It doesn't take long before Dini's infectious enthusiasm and quirky personality has you not only loving her but also these semi-social insects that even us as pesties typically cringe at. This is the podcast for those that want an upper hand in German cockroach and bedbug work and also just want to listen to a natural story teller!
