Join us for #GivingTuesday, a day of giving to celebrate generosity worldwide. UC IPM helps residents, growers, land managers, community leaders, and other pest management professionals prevent and solve pest problems.

UC IPM's Urban & Community program has a new newsletter! The Home & Garden Pest Newsletter (which replaces the Retail Nursery & Garden Center IPM News) is designed to help provide California residents with the latest pest information from the University of California.

It's spooky season and we wanted to share a few of our favorite Halloween horror themed pests you may see now, or at other times of the year.

Now is the time for planting cool-season vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and spinach. We are pleased to share new pest management resources for other cool season vegetables including beets, chard, radishes or turnips.

Licensing for perimeter spraying under California's pest control laws is dependent on the situation and site (Table 1).
