Storm Related Pests: Wasp Control

Hurricane winds and area flooding also destroyed nests of many of the
stinging insects such as paper wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets. These
nests had significant numbers at this time of year, so you will encounter
stinging wasps as they scavenge for food and seek shelter among debris
and exposed trash. All are capable of multiple stings that are very painful.

Northwest Extension District Bylaws

Fellow agents,

In accordance with UF/IFAS Faculty Senate, we were tasked with creating bylaws for the Northwest Extension District.  Those bylaws can be found here for you to review prior to the October 30 Faculty Meeting at which time we will vote to accept or reject them.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
