Community Pest News

My blog called "Urban Pest News" sounded too boring so I decided yesterday to change the name to "Community Pest News".

Are you interested in urban entomology? Do you wonder what that bug is you found in your carpet? Or maybe you love ladybird beetles and want to find out more about them. Come learn about and see indoor and outdoor insects this Sunday, November 18 from 1 to 4 p.m.

The UC Statewide IPM Program, which is a part of the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, is hiring for an Urban IPM Educator. This position is part of the Urban and Community IPM unit.

Controlling weeds can be challenging, but UC IPM provides many resources to help home gardeners and landscape professionals.

Around this same time last year, I posted an article called "What's this sticky stuff on my car?". Well, it's that time of year again when we see the sticky, messy drippings from many different kinds of trees that are infested with a honeydew-producing insect.
