Termite Technical Course
The Termite Technical Course is a 2 day-long workshop, and is the flagship technical course of the SPMTC. This course was developed in partnership with NCDA, and is still taught in collaboration with them. While it has gone through several iterations, formerly called the Termite Technician Program, this technical course has continued to improve and expand – keeping pace with industry and cutting edge developments in termite management. On day 1 of the course you will hear from experts on termite biology and behavior, in-depth information on colony structure and risk, rules and regulations governing termite treatments in NC, and get hands on with some of the latest in termite management technology. On day two, we get dirty! You’ll spend the day performing mock termite inspections on our termite pavilion, getting face-to-face with various construction elements, and traveling to a nearby residence to identify and discuss conducive conditions. After lunch we head back outside to our pavilion where you will rotate through three technical skill stations – Drilling & Roding, Trenching & Flooding, Bait Station Install & Inspection. This course stands as the premier termite training opportunity in North Carolina, and we look forward to seeing you there! This course is approved for 10 W-phase CCU’s.
Outdoor Technical Course
The Outdoor Technical Course is a 2 day-long workshop, and is the newest multi-day technical course of the SPMTC. 10 P-phase CCU’s.
