Texas Cooperative Extension agents often refer to their compact discs on insects when they help people deal with pests on farms, ranches or around homes.
Now the CD is available to the public.
"The Insect Pest Management CD should have broad appeal as it covers pests in homes and gardens, ornamental and fruit trees and those on farms and in other rural areas," said Allen Knutson, an Extension entomologist in Dallas. "For only eight bucks you can't beat it."
The Insect Pest Management CD contains more than 150 publications on identifying and controlling pests, said Knutson, who compiled the information.
It includes text on thousands of species, as well as color photographs, illustrations, maps and graphs.
For farmers and other residents of rural areas, there are specifics on managing pests that affect row crops, livestock, trees and other plants and animals.
In addition to insects, the CD covers other potential pests such as snakes and wild fowl.
"These illustrated publications are organized in a series of easy-to-use menus," Knutson said. "A search option makes it easy to find information."
