Biology and Control of Insects and Rodents program.In collaboration with CDC/NCEH, NEHA NEHA National Environmental Health Association NEHA National Executive Housekeepers Association NEHA Northern Estates Homeowners Association (Indianapolis, Indiana) will host its third Biology and Control of Insects and Rodents pre-conference workshop at NEHA's 2008 AEC AEC US Atomic Energy Commission Noun 1. AEC - a former executive agency (from 1946 to 1974) that was responsible for research into atomic energy and its peacetime uses in the United States Atomic Energy Commission & Exhibition in Tucson. The workshop includes classroom lecture, interactive activities, and group discussion on biology and identification of vectors, vector-borne diseases of significance to public health, vector-borne diseases as bio-terror agents, development of strategic partners in rodent rodent, member of the mammalian order Rodentia, characterized by front teeth adapted for gnawing and cheek teeth adapted for chewing. The Rodentia is by far the largest mammalian order; nearly half of all mammal species are rodents. control, integrated pest management Integrated Pest Management (IPM), planned program that coordinates economically and environmentally acceptable methods of pest control with the judicious and minimal use of toxic pesticides. , health effects of pesticides, pesticide resistance Pesticide resistance is the evolution of pest species targeted by a pesticide resulting in decreased susceptibility to that chemical. In other words, pests develop a resistance to a chemical through artificial selection; after they are exposed to a pesticide for a prolonged period , green pest management, urban rat control, mosquito control, ticks, and miscellaneous pest insects. In addition to the above workshop, NEHA is planning a regional workshop for fall of 2008. NEHA has accepted letters of intent from interested states to host this regional training, and applications are currently being reviewed through a competitive selection process.
