Hillary Peterson, Integrated Pest Management Specialist at the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, will share tips for making informed choices about garden pests. Learn to identify common pests and beneficials, decide how much garden damage is acceptable, and explore the “IPM Toolbox,” including the pros and cons of different pesticides and why homemade options are not recommended.
