The IPM Kiosk contains information about 60 common home and garden pests (63 KB, PDF) including identification and management, alternatives to pesticides and least toxic pest control, as well as safe use and disposal of pesticides. The kiosk also includes tips related to proper watering, fertilizing, and avoiding problems associated with garden chemicals.
