Kiosk
UC IPM kiosk helps solve pest management problems

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 (63 KB, PDF) 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. To borrow a kiosk for your retail garden center, library, or government center, contact your local UC Master Gardener office. For more information about the kiosks, contact Karey Windbiel-Rojas at UC IPM.
