Editorial: fourth edition of Latam Plagas
Editorial presentation, with the axes, context and technical perspective that guide this issue of Latam Plagas.
At LATAMPLAGAS we are convinced that the regional dissemination of quality technical/scientific information is essential to achieve homogeneous standards in reference to integrated pest management strategies. The different areas in which pests develop and the problematic species do not differ so much between countries, despite the diversity of prevailing climatic and ecological conditions. For this reason we focus on convening the main technical references in the region, who have the ability to transmit in clear and precise language the important concepts that allow the pest management activity to be developed with greater precision.
In this new issue we will address topics related to rodents, bed bugs, weevils as primary pests of stored grains, mosquitoes versus repellents, and the search for quality in the sale of services. In addition to the latest incorporated sections that will allow you to know how and where to obtain information, what is happening in the world in relation to pests and the most complete agenda of international events. LATAMPLAGAS is a magazine developed by and for people linked to the rational management of pests and disease vector organisms, its dissemination is essential to continue promoting the provision of quality services.
For this reason, we have opted for the management of social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and the creation of a friendly website that facilitates our connection with a large number of people worldwide. In this way, the flow and exchange of information is increased, favoring individual professional growth and the industry as a whole.
Our commitment is and will be to keep you updated with the latest strategies and technologies used worldwide in the efficient control of pest organisms. The existence of service providing companies arises from the need to limit the development of insects, rodents or other pests in areas where they are contaminants or can transmit diseases. The permanent concern to modify the environment forces pests to adapt quickly and efficiently. Due to this, it is a priority for pest management companies to evolve and adapt quickly and hierarchically, to be able to respond to these adaptive processes without losing the battle. LATAMPLAGAS's primary objective is to contribute valuable information that facilitates this evolutionary and dynamic process that companies and actors related to pest control must frequently undergo.
