Pest Identification Cards

Friday, March 21st, 2025

Urban farmers face unique challenges including the pests they encounter. Many urban farmers are new farmers so they need basic information as well as solutions for problems that arise. The Great Lakes Urban Ag IPM Working Group has 15 pest cards available which provide identification and management options for insects and mammals. Some of most popular pest cards provide information about groundhogs, deer, cucumber beetles, and squash vine borers. The cards are available in English, Spanish, and Nepali. Check out the online version of the cards here. This work is/was supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Crop Protection and Pest Management Program through the North Central IPM Center (2018-70006-28883).
