'Bugs is about helping you solve pest control problems around your home and garden in safe and environmentally responsible ways.

The truth is you can do most home pest control yourself and you can do it safer and less expensively than hiring an exterminator. There are, however, a few situations where you might need to hire a pest control company. I've compiled a list of DIY Pest Control projects that most homeowners can handle themselves as well as the few situations that I believe should not be attemped without proper training or equipment.

I am a retired university entomologist with over 20 years of experience in extension, agricultural research and teaching (see About Us).

In the pages of 'Bugs you'll find information about identifying insects and spiders, selecting the best pest control approach and how to safely use pesticides. We emphasize education because if you are better informed, you'll make better decisions.
