House & Garden Solutions

The District strongly recommends using less toxic products to control home and garden pests.

Integrated Pest Management

Using a technique called Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, means that you can solve pest problems while minimizing risks to people and the environment. IPM can be used to manage all kinds of pests anywhere - in urban, agricultural, and wild or natural areas.
