Like a good neighbor… keep your weeds over there. 😆
But seriously, that little patch of leafy spurge along the fence line? It won't stay little. Spurge, knapweed, Canada thistle, and houndstongue spread fast, and what's a weekend spray job today can turn into a multi-thousand-dollar infestation in a few seasons. Once it gets into pasture or hay ground, it crowds out forage, drops land values, and can be toxic to livestock and wildlife.
Noxious weeds aren't just an eyesore. They cost Wyoming ranchers, landowners, and taxpayers millions every year, and they degrade the rangelands, waterways, and wildlife habitat that make this place what it is.
The fix is cheap and easy when the patch is small. Spray it, pull it, or call us for help before it becomes your neighbor's problem.

Send this to your neighbor who needs to control their weeds! 😉

Thinking about becoming a certified commercial or private pesticide applicator? Or maybe you just want to feel more confident in your ability to safely use pesticides to manage weeds or pests?

If so, consider signing up for the Pesticide Safety and Application community interest course THIS WEEKEND at Sheridan College.

This course will prepare you to take and pass the Wyoming commercial or private pesticide applicator exam.

Tick season is here!

Our staff have already collected and identified 21 ticks from around the county. As the days have gotten warmer, these tiny pests have become more active, increasing the risk for both people and pets.

Help protect yourself and your furry friends by taking a few simple precautions:
• Perform full tick checks after being outside
• Tuck long pants into your socks
• Use insect repellent when appropriate

To better understand potential health risks, these ticks will be sent to our colleagues at Teton County W**d and Pest District for disease testing.

If you find a tick, secure it in a baggie with some grass, note the location where you found it and whether it was attached to you or your pets, then bring it into our office. Bringing in ticks from different areas of our county helps us better understand the tick populations and the risk of tick borne disease to our community.

It's almost time to start monitoring for grasshoppers! Large-scale grasshopper treatments can only be done when the timing is right and populations truly call for it—so keep an eye out early in the season.

The best way for SCWP to track grasshopper activity across the county is by hearing from you—give our office a call if you’re seeing high populations, and of course if you have any questions!
