Description

In this episode of The Bug Bux Podcast, host Allan Draper sits down with Isabelle Lucero, Technical Sales and Compliance Manager at JT Eaton, to unpack one of the industry’s most pressing topics, the evolving landscape of pesticide and rodenticide regulations.

Isabelle, who holds a master’s degree in entomology from the University of Kentucky, shares insights on how new EPA and state-level restrictions are shaping pest control practices across the U.S., what PCOs should be watching for, and how to stay compliant while maintaining effective control strategies.

They also discuss the importance of innovation in pest management, from JT Eaton’s new Long Strong Pole to the Trojan Horse, an inventive IPM bait station designed for discretion and versatility.

Whether you’re a technician in the field or an owner preparing for the next wave of regulation, this episode offers practical advice, fresh ideas, and a reminder that adaptability is key to long-term success in pest control.
