The IPM Practitioner’s 2015 Directory of Least-Toxic Pest Control Products contains more than 2000 products produced by more than 600 suppliers. The Directory is unique because it is compiled by IPM technical experts, includes specific product descriptions, and is organized in concert with the IPM decision making process.

Thus, it is easy to find a biological control for an aphid, a pheromone for a moth, or a bait for an ant. The Directory gives contact information and access to suppliers of biocontrol products, traps, pheromones, physical controls, tools, barriers, and least-toxic chemical control products.

The Directory is a valuable asset for anyone trying to practice IPM and reduce pesticide exposures. Listed products are useful for structural pest control, greenhouse production, home gardening, and organic farming.
