We live in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. Pacific Northwest winters are fairly mild and wet, summers tend to be somewhat dry, especially after mid-July. Rhododendron, azalea and ornamental grasses are common landscape plants as well a variety of ground covers. Our major landscape pest problems are slugs, root weevils as well as the usual suspects like aphids and spider mites.
Mission: To provide accurate, up-to-date and unbiased information for solving common insect and mite problems around your home, business and landscape using least-toxic methods.
