UC-IPM Pest Notes

Integrated pest management, or "IPM," is a process you can use to solve pest problems while minimizing risks to people and the environment.

Pest Notes are peer-reviewed scientific publications about specific pests or pest management topics, directed at California's home and landscape audiences. Pest Notes are available to view online and in a downloadable PDF version. Most of the PDFs are 2 to 5 pages long.
