Pest management on Web

The Maine Integrated Pest Management Council has launched its new website, http://gotpests.org.

The site is designed to help Maine homeowners identify the most common pests found in their homes and gardens, with information on managing those infestations with low-risk methods.

The council was established by the Maine Legislature to promote and enhance implementation of practices that reduce or minimize the harmful environmental effects of pesticides. The council also promotes healthy landscapes through ecologically based practices that minimize reliance on water, fertilizer and pesticides.

Networking site launched

The site offers membership for a limited group of professionals on a first-come, first-served basis. Just two business professionals from each profession and each ZIP code may join.

Businessman Andrew Stone founded the site as a connecting point to establish virtual meetings and face-to-face meetings, and to track business referrals online without the restriction of multiple networking groups. For more details, go to the site.
