Touch-Screen Pest Management
Kiosks
The University of California Statewide IPM Program has developed a touch-screen
kiosk to help consumers around the state solve pest problems, protect the
environment, and prevent runoff from residential landscapes.
The IPM Kiosk contains information about 60
common home and garden pests including identification
and management, alternatives to pesticides and
least toxic pest control, as well
as safe use and disposal of pesticides. The kiosk also includes tips related
to proper watering, fertilizing, and avoiding problems associated with
garden chemicals. Kiosk users can look up a pest by category and name or
diagnose a problem on plants. Users can watch videos, print and take home
information, as well as locate resources for finding additional pest management
help in their county.
Kiosks will be placed throughout California as part of UC
Master Gardener outreach events and in nurseries, libraries, county
fairs, garden exhibits, and plant clinics. For more information about
the kiosks, contact Karey Windbiel-Rojas at
UC IPM.
