Web Resource Wednesday: NAPIS Pest Tracker

The NAPIS Pest Tracker website has recently been given a "face lift." If you're looking for information on the distribution of pests in Illinois and across the United States, check out this database.

NAPIS Pest Tracker houses information collected from detection surveys conducted by the CAPS programs as well as by USDA-APHIS-PPQ and other state entities. Detection surveys focus on finding invasive pests (insects, weeds, pathogens, and nematodes) before they become established in the environment. This website provides pest lists, maps, state news, and contact information. A great place to start when looking for information on invasives.
