Virginia Tech Pesticide Programs serves the citizens of the commonwealth through Virginia Cooperative Extension. We are located in Blacksburg, Virginia, at Virginia Tech in the Department of Entomology. Our department is part of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. We provide educational opportunities and information to people who use pesticides as part of their livelihood, to consumers with questions about the use and impact of pesticides in their everyday lives, to students at Virginia Tech and at other institutions, and to policymakers such as local, state, and federal government regulators and legislators. Most of our work involves outreach and Extension work in the commonwealth, regionally and through international programs in integrated pest management IPM. In addition, we teach in the undergraduate and graduate programs at Virginia Tech. We also conduct research to seek knowledge of the impact of regulation on pest management and to determine the effects of the historical use of pesticides on the environment and human health.
