Pest Program Informational Brochures

The goal of the Pest Program is to protect the state's resources by preventing the establishment of high-risk invasive insects, terrestrial snails, plant diseases and noxious weeds. The program's core functions are detection, identification, inspection, eradication, and outreach. As part of its outreach efforts the Pest Program develops outreach material to educate the public on invasive species in Washington State. 

Protecting Washington From Invasive Pests Booklet


Washington's environment faces a constant threat - the accidental introducation of invasive pests that could ruin ecological systems, parks, gardens, farms, and even our economy. But through early detection and a quick response, we can protect our natural resources from destructive invasive pests for years to come.
