Is there any interest in having a vector control frequently asked questions specific to PA added to the PVCA page?
I was thinking that, pending member feedback, I could compile a list of the most common questions we encounter statewide and put it on the PVCA website.
One question I hear in passing (not posed to me at work) is "what does PA do for tick control?". The short answer would be "nothing substantive". A more detailed answer would explain public education efforts (with links to any info online) and specifics on what some individual counties may do. I would obviously include the detailed answer on the website.
If folks have common questions and answers they think might be helpful, send them to me and I will compile the info for the website. Even if you have some links to PA websites that already contain some FAQ's (i.e. DEP's West Nile FAQ), I can link to those in addition to posting our own FAQ's covering a broader subject matter (i.e. rodents, mosquitoes, bed bugs, ticks, etc).
Happy New Year!
