Entomologists... Any Experts On Here.

[Guest vin]

Hello all.

 

I work for local authorities in pest control etc etc.

 

When a customer drops off a sample into our offices we send them off to that well know place that does the training in Osset,West Yorks etc etc. they confirm what species it is.

 

Obviously we usually know what it is before we send it,But have to get it confirmed before we inform a customer etc etc.

 

I'm wondering if there is any other methods anyone else uses to get any samples confirmed etc etc...?

Nope im the same as you but there is an app which helps from bayer. I really hate that side of PC work - beetles, grain storage pests etc. Actively try not to do them.

She had to get some antibiotics. .

 

It was red hot and "proper sore" .

 

It was very small, slightly bigger than a flea and was not very fast moving..
