Pest of the Home & Home Landscape


Pest of the Home & Home Landscape will cover pest topics of concern to the home owners of Mississippi and may be used by Extension Professions in the preparations of news articles, newsletters, or other county programs. If there are topics that one would like to see covered and it is within my expertise I will be glad to write on the subject. The Departmental page offers an area for submitted questions.
