More than 100 companies attended the New Orleans workshop.

MOBILE, Ala. — Nisus Corporation and Oldham Chemicals are holding a

workshop for PCOs on the proper procedures for making flood damaged

homes habitable on Nov. 9, in Mobile, Ala.

The third training workshop will be held at the Jon Archer County

Agricultural Center, 1070 Schillingers Road North in Mobile, Ala.

Registration is from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m (with coffee and

doughnuts), with training from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (lunch

provided). There is no cost for participating licensed pest control

operators and state regulators.

Pest control companies play a vital part in preserving structures

after flood damage, so at the request of pest control companies and

associations, Nisus has developed and organized on-location training

workshops and supporting educational materials. Nisus and its

distributors already have coordinated workshops in , Miss,

and the New Orleans area (Madisonville, La) and are scheduling

additional workshops for Florida and the Northeast in November. " We

have conducted two of these training workshops in conjunction with

our distributors, and the response has been amazing, " says L.

Kirkland, president of Nisus Corporation. " In New Orleans, more than

100 companies packed the facility to learn how to disinfect

structures and protect wood structures from mold and wood decay

fungi. "

Wehlen of E and G Pest Control, Inc., in New Orleans, said that

the Mold-Care work has improved his overall pest control

business. " People who didn't think of using pest control services

before are now having problems they want a professional to handle,

and they remember us. "

Dr. Jeff Lloyd, vice president of research and development, Nisus

Corporation, advises PMPs to take careful steps when dealing with

flood-damaged structures because of the multiple dangers and health

risks that exist, including sewage. Lloyd and the Nisus technical

staff have developed a 10 step Structural Protection Checklist to

help pest control professionals and homeowners deal with emergency

situations (see www.nisuscorp.com).
