[Nick Gromicko]

The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has, on occasion, relevant information that licensed Structural Pest Inspectors (SPIs) or home inspectors may find useful. Communication via email in the form of a LISTSERV is often the best way to provide this information to you.
What is a Listserv?: A listserv, or list server, automatically manages mailing lists and sends messages to the email addresses of everyone on that list. A listserv is similar to an on-line discussion group (newsgroup or forum) except that messages are transmitted as an email only to individuals on that list. This particular listserv (PEST-INSPECTORS) does not allow subscribers to send messages to the mailing list but you can send comments to the List Owner (Dan Suomi) b clicking on “Email the List Owner.”
One feature of PEST-INSPECTORS is that previous information is archived, allowing subscribers to retrieve earlier articles or documents.
Subscribing or Unsubscribing: Users can join or leave a listserv at any time. When you subscribe, the listserv automatically adds your email address and sends future messages to you and all others on the mailing list. When someone unsubscribes, the listserv simply removes their email address. New users can join by clicking on the following Internet address: http://listserv.wa.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A0=PEST-INSPECTORS.
Security and Privacy Features: PEST-INSPECTORS also includes security features that will keep the mailing list secure and free from viruses and spam. The mailing list will not be shared with others. For more information about the WSDA privacy policy, please click on the “Privacy Policy” button.
Updating Your Preference: Click on the “Update Options” button if you wish to make changes, such as changing your email address. You may also subscribe to other WSDA mailing listservs from this site.
Becoming a Listserv Member: Simply click on the Internet address (found above). By “Options” you will see “Get Password” – click on this and you’ll be asked to enter your email address and a password (twice). An email will be sent to you in a few minutes that verifies who you are; just click on the highlighted link and that’s it…you are now a member of PEST-INSPECTORS.
