This site is about urban entomology, the study of insects and mites that impact people and their property. We emphasize education because the better informed you are, the better the decisions you'll make. I retired from Oregon State University in 2004 where I was an Extension entomologist, conducted pest management research and taught an urban entomology course. I am now a consulting entomologist.
