We’ve taken a moment to compile a list of all the great resources for pest control professionals and landowners to reference when deciding how to reduce pesticide use.
Solve Pest Problems
Eco-Friendly Pest Control. 
National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC)
NPIC makes reliable pesticide information available to the public. Go Beavers!
Grow Smart, Grow Safe
This handy guide lists pesticide products and ranks their hazards to humans, pets & wildlife, acquatic organisms & water quality.
A great quick reference for pesticide safety, check out Grow Smart, Grow Safe before buying or spraying anything.
Green Shield Certified
Looking for a pest control provider that has been evaluated for Integrated Pest Management by a third party?
Pest control companies claim their products and services are green, but how do you know what that means? You can feel confident choosing a Green Shield Certified exterminator because they follow strict standards that protect human health, water quality & ecological safety.
NPMA Field Guide Pro (App)
How does that work? Well, the more informed you are about each pest & their biology, the less likely you are to over-apply chemicals.
Integrated Pest Management. 
PNW Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
By choosing a farm share through a CSA, you support farmers directly, and can ask them about their organic practices. In general, even if a local farm isn’t “Certified Organic” – (which doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t use pesticides), they are probably implementing sustainable & organic practices. Pick the farm that’s right for you!
Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides (NCAP)
“The Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides (NCAP) is the leading Northwest voice for non-toxic pest and weed solutions. We promote safe pest and weed alternatives for the health of people and the environment.
They have lots of great information for homeowners, gardeners, farmers, and support for people looking for ways to reduce bee poisoning by pesticide use.
Northwest Pest Digest
That’s where we step in. We have combined habitat restoration & integrated pest management experience. We understand the risks of pesticides and work hard to reduce them. Our blog is meant to provide good quality information to help homeowners solve minor pest issues where they can.
