Pest and Wildlife ManagementPest and Wildlife Management4HighPest Control Technician$ implied
A pest control technician is unable to eliminate persistent fruit flies in a dialysis clinic due to limited access and ineffective drain treatments.
Existing products (drain treatments, baits, glue boards) are insufficient to fully eradicate fruit flies when the client does not follow cleaning protocols and when access to more effective tools like fly lights is blocked by a middleman (Truly Nolan).
