A comprehensive knowledgebase of urban, structural, lawn and landscape pests. While the lawn and landscape sections are oriented to the southeastern U.S., the urban and structural sections have relevance to North America, if not the world.

The CD-ROM contains information on pest biology, life cycle, identification, distribution, damage and management. The knowledgebase stresses the principles of Integrated Pest Management. The program format allows users to quickly access scientific definitions, 150+ graphics and 400+ full-color photographs.

This version, released in December 2004, has scores of new color images. In addition, many other images were replaced with higher resolution copies. Version 2.0 also added a section on vertebrates that are common pests throughout the country, as well as iguanas, which are a problem in south Florida.

Other additions include graphical identification keys to the many common pest species and groups, detailed images showing morphological structure of many groups of insect, and numerous links to other sources of information on the Web. Lastly, the information in this new version was updated to reflect the latest knowledge in each area, as well as information on new problems, such as West Nile virus.
