The Insect Diagnostic Lab was established in 1978 to identify insects and insect damaged plant material from around the state.
Primary service is to the county extension offices and commercial concerns.
The lab processes between 1,500-2,300 samples per year. Homeowners are encouraged to check with the local extension office for help first because many samples can be handled in a more efficient manor locally. At the present time there is no charge for the service. Parking stickers for Lot 36 behind Russell Labs are available in the Entomology Department's main office, Room 237 Russell Labs. 12 or U.S. Hwy.
