SUMMARY:Common Stinging Wasps Around the Home: Management Options

Snyder is an entomologist by training and profession.  She has over 10 years professional experience working with schools\, Native American groups\, homeowners\, and communities on pests in the built environment.   Her past employment includes Cooperative Extension in Arizona and Oregon\, the pest management industry\, and non-profit organizations.  Jennifer earned her Master’s in Entomology from Oregon State University.  This workshop is put in on collaboration with Clark County Public Works Green Neighbors Program.
