Insect Identification and Control

For information about identifying insects and information about controlling these pests please contact the WSU Extension office at 360-577-3014.

Dead Birds

The Department of Health no longer takes reports of dead birds. West Nile Virus monitoring is now done exclusively through mosquito surveillance. You may report wild bird die-offs to WDFW or domestic flocks to WSDA.
