What types of pest control does QAL Category K primarily focus on?

QAL Category K primarily focuses on the control of pests affecting public health. This includes a variety of organisms that can pose significant risks to human health, such as disease-carrying insects (like mosquitoes and ticks), rodents, and other pests that might contribute to health issues in community settings. The emphasis on public health means that practitioners are trained to recognize and manage these pests in ways that protect community well-being, improve sanitation, and prevent the spread of diseases.

The other options pertain to pest control areas but do not fit the specific focus of QAL Category K. For instance, while agricultural pests are important, they fall under different categories related to farming and crop health. Structural pests in buildings relate to infestations that may damage property but are not directly related to public health concerns. Similarly, controlling pests in domestic gardens focuses on horticultural issues rather than the broader impact on public health that Category K addresses. Thus, the training and certification are designed to ensure practitioners are equipped to tackle issues that directly affect the health of individuals and communities.
