We offer information that will help you discover less toxic ways to rid your home and garden of unwated pests. Please see our fact sheet links below for detailed information on different pests.

STOPPP has teamed up with local businesses to provide the public with products and information about less-toxic pest management. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a strategy that emphasizes less-toxic controls for keeping pests at acceptable, low-levels. The partnership is intended to reduce the amount of pesticides entering creeks and the Bay through sewers and storm drain systems.

The stores listed below are participating in the IPM Partnership Program and offer non-toxic or less toxic approaches to managing pests.
