I wish I had the chance to attend this workshop, it's all I need to keep it good control on pests in my farm. If there's one thing I learned about pest it's that things keep evolving, they never stay the same so we should always stay informed. I can handle part of the pests myself but for the rest I rely on our local pest control service, so far this formula worked for me.
