Several North Carolina State University web sites containing pest management and pesticide information are available for county Extension agents, growers, pesticide applicators, agricultural consultants, pest control operators, landscapers, homeowners and other interested persons. The first site is the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences' Pesticide Programs and Educational Resources web page at: http://ipm.ncsu.edu/pesticides. This site is a portal to a variety of programs in the College that address pesticide-related topics ranging from agromedicine to wildlife protection. Also, links are provided to newsletters, fact sheets, manuals, and other pesticide information sources available from the various academic departments in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
The second site is the North Carolina Pest Management Information Program web page at: http://ipm.ncsu.edu/ncpmip. This program serves as an information resource on current agricultural and non-agricultural pest management practices, problems and issues in North Carolina and offers timely, science-based pest management and pesticide information to readers. The site provides access to pest management profiles (i.e., crop profiles) for agricultural crops and non-agricultural sites in North Carolina.
The third site is the North Carolina Pesticide Safety Education Program web page at: http://ipm.ncsu.edu/pesticidesafety. This program promotes the responsible use of pesticides in North Carolina through educational resources and training. Information on pesticide certification, licensing, training, disposal, container recycling, record keeping, etc. is available on the site.
The fourth site is the Southern Region Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Center web page at: http://www.sripmc.org. The Southern Region IPM Center, funded by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and managed at North Carolina State University, supports numerous IPM research, educational and regulatory activities and the communication of IPM within the Southern U. S. The site provides considerable information on IPM in a variety of settings, both agricultural and non-agricultural.
Bookmark these web sites on your computer for timely, up-to-date information on pest management and pesticides in North Carolina and the Southern U. S.

I talk about European hornets (image courtesy of Rich Sabulsky, Zionsville, Pennsylvania) almost every year at this time, but it is hard to be bored by this insect. European hornet populations are peaking. Adults frequently visit fluxing oak trees and they seem to enjoy butting their heads against lighted windows at night. The European hornet, Vespa crabro, is an introduced species and the only true hornet in North America. It builds large tan paper nests typically located in hollow trees and often partially exposed. Sometimes they nest in man-made structures. Like all hornets and wasps, they can be considered beneficial because they eat other insects including other stinging insects. However, an unfortunate nest location could place a person at higher risk of being stung. They may sometimes strip bark from soft barked twigs. A normal foraging hornet, if left to tend to its own business, is usually not a threat. For more information about these mahogany and yellow colored hornets and how to control them if necessary, see Residential, Structural and Community Pests Insect Note No. 11 on the web at http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/notes/Urban/eurohornet.htm.
The San Jose scale is one of the armored scales that has given fruit growers problems over the years. I have recently received a report of this pest on ornamental cherry. All stages were present, so it was alive and active. This late in the season, parasitoids may be working on the scale, so horticultural oil would be a good choice for treatment. As the scale feeds, it injects its saliva into the tree, which results in decline and possible death of the host plant. It can attack the bark, foliage and fruit. There are five generations of this insect per year. Ornamentals and Turf Insect Information Note No. 87, Pest Control Calendar for Ornamental Cherries and Plums, may be of assistance (see http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/notes/O&T/calendars/note087.html).
