Entomology and Nematology
Subscribe to the Pest Alert-L Listserv
Note: This website is being redesigned and transitioned to a new blog that will cross-post to the Pest Alert listserv. Thank you for your patience during this process.
Pest Alert allows the Department of Entomology and Nematology at the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) to provide timely information on new and reoccurring pest problems. Pest Alert also includes links to information from Federal and state agencies that directly or indirectly affect Florida residents. For example, one important contributor is the Florida Department of Health with its arbovirus summaries and reports.
Pest Alert is not meant to provide a complete description of the pest, symptoms, possible damage and management guidelines. This detailed information often is found in the thousands of free and for sale UF/IFAS publications available at county Cooperative Extension Service offices or at the UF/IFAS EDIS Web site.
Publications on pests new to Florida may not yet be available on the EDIS site or through UF/IFAS publications. In this case, Pest Alert, other UF/IFAS departmental or research center Web sites, or several State of Florida sites may contain the only information available until publications are developed on these pests.
Pest Alert is not meant to function as an archive of all items ever listed. As files or links become outdated or are no longer relevant, the Webmaster reserves the right to delete items.
Most files in Pest Alert identify a contact for additional information. Please contact that individual or organizational unit for additional information, and not this site's Webmaster.
The information at this site can be cut and pasted into newsletters or other publications. Please do not change the wording regarding any control measures mentioned.
