Our directory is a valuable tool for identifying and managing pests and you can use your web browser’s search function to find relevant information quickly. Every entry in our directory is tagged with keywords to make searching easier. By using your browser’s search tool, you can type in keywords like “white flowers,” “spots,” “tall,” or “brown” to help locate potential matches.

How to Search on Your Device

On a Windows Desktop or Laptop (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) 
Press Ctrl + F on your keyboard. A search bar will appear at the top or bottom of the page. Type in a keyword, and your browser will highlight matches on the page.
