Since 1979, our members have received the latest research information through our journals, the IPM Practitioner and Common Sense Pest Control Quarterly. Click on Membership Information for further details. We sell publications on IPM and alternative solutions to pest problems. To buy a publication, click on Publications & Reprints for titles and ordering information. Across the country, more and more school districts are converting to integrated pest management (IPM). When a school has an active IPM program, children, teachers and school personnel are exposed to fewer toxic pesticide sprays.

Over the years, BIRC has assisted homeowners, farmers, cities, park and water districts, schools, and pest control professionals in pesticide use reduction. In recognition of our work, we received an IPM Innovators Award from the State of California Department of Pesticide Regulation in 1997. BIRC's technical staff constantly reviews the scientific literature for new ideas and approaches for publication in our journals the IPM Practitioner and Common Sense Pest Control Quarterly. We produce pamphlets, articles for the general public, technical manuals, and a resource directory.
