All year long, we give you tips and tricks to fight the weeds and pests that bug us. But what about the native plants? The Indian paintbrush, western coneflower, rocky mountain maple, and so many more. There are over 1,200+ native plant species in Teton County, each working in perfect harmony as a vital part of our ecosystem. This month, we’re highlighting a handful of native plants and their contributions to our environment.
For this Weed of the Month, we’re bringing bittersweet nightshade into the light. Here are some tips for identifying and managing infestations to protect your family, pets, and livestock from this toxic invader.
While spring gardening may steal the spotlight, fall yard work is equally crucial. Putting in some effort now can make your spring and summer seasons more manageable.
Teton County Weed and Pest District’s Entomologist, Mikenna Smith, together with scientific staff from Valent Biosciences will be conducting a mosquito “field cage trial” this month. Field cage trials are large scale, field experiments where mosquitoes are placed in cages that are strategically placed in the path of a truck mounted ultra-low volume adulticide spray drift. This is the most “real world” experiment that can be conducted to determine if certain pesticides can kill the caged mosquitoes.
