PESTS IN THE LANDSCAPE

   
Pests in the landscape come in all colors, shapes and sizes. Some walk or crawl, some fly and some grow like weeds. Many of them seem pretty gross when you see large populations (see the photo of the heavy Scale infestation below).

Identification is the first step in addressing any pest problem. The next step is finding out if the pest problem is severe enough to be treated, and if so, when the pest is most susceptible. When using pesticides, always use the least toxic product available, and follow label instructions. These are just a few of the principles of IPM (Integrated Pest Management).
  
The following webpages will help you identify your pest problems.
