The plant pest lab can identify insect pests. We specialize in identification of insects that are plant pests.
Sampling Instructions:
Submission sheets: Please print and mail the Submission Sheet when sending samples to the lab. Please fill out the submission sheet with as much detail as possible.
Shipping: Samples used to be preserved in alcohol, but that is a shipping hazard. County offices have or can order propylene glycol vials from the Center for safe shipping. Please contact your county office for these safe shipping vials.
Live insects are not accepted. Ensure insects are placed in propylene glycol before shipping. Sticky cards for monitoring insects are also accepted.
