Invasive and nuisance plants in the landscape

Invasive / nuisance plants and pests

Invasive plants and nuisance pests often invade our residential landscapes and natural areas. These pests are intentionally introduced, transported inconspicuously by freight carriers or simply naturally migrate across continental boundaries. Without natural predators this material often thrive in a convenient and hospitable habitat. Recognizing and controlling invasive plants and nuisance pests is the first step in controlling their aggressive character.
