Biological pesticides, or biopesticides, are usually inherently less toxic than conventional pesticides and generally affect only the target pests and closely related organisms.

This free webinar will discuss various fungal biopesticides —  Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium, Isaria (Cordyceps) — and their effective applications to manage pests such as bed bugs and mosquitoes. The featured speakers will provide an overview of how fungal pesticides work and an update on current successful use cases.
