Dealing With Bugs Without Harming Ourselves

It’s a buggy summer and this week we are here to teach you practical ways to manage insects in and around the home and those surrounding the plants you maintain.  Learn types of pest management strategies that are commonly used.  We’ll discuss risks and harms resulting from different methods and identify the healthiest and most effective ways to manage whatever it is that is bugging you.  Featuring Horticulture Agent, Dennis Patton of the Johnson County K-State Research and Extension.
