Description:

While most of these bugs areharmless or even beneficial, a few pose a genuine risk. My goal is to help youtell the difference between pest situations that need attention and those thatmay not, and to help you solve problems in a safe, responsible, and environmentallyfriendly way.Research has shown that the best approach to pest control is something calledintegrated pest management, or IPM. IPM involves a series of steps thatdiffer somewhat depending on the circumstances but all involve pestidentification, damage assessment, and finally least-toxic controlmethods.
