About Us
As part of the University of California Statewide IPM Program (UC IPM), the Urban and Community team provides practical and science-based information for California’s urban audiences to sustainably manage pests in the home, garden, or landscape. Urban audiences include home gardeners, urban Californians, UC Master Gardeners, landscape professionals, structural pest control professionals, retail nursery and garden center staff, schools and child care centers, multi-unit housing managers, and public agency professionals. The team provides a variety of online resources and tools, print publications, and trainings for these audiences. By educating urban Californians on effective, science-based methods to sustainably manage pests, the team hopes to reduce unintentional human and environmental harm caused by traditional pest management practices.
