| Impact Report | IPM Telephone Consultations: Many of the clientele telephone the office and consult this agent on a number of topics. Usual protocol is to ask many questions to determine if they have in fact enough data to make a valid recommendation. If not, then often times a site or home visit will be made to help solve the problem. Most questions are very basic in nature and can be solved over the telephone. There were 1344 questions asked of this agent this year, with 192 concerning 4-H and Youth programs. The rest were agriculture, horticulture and livestock related concerning Termites, Bees, Ticks, Ants, Insects in general, Bed bugs, Plant diseases, Weeds, Insecticides, Herbicides, Pigeons, Swallows, Migratory and protected species birds, Cats, Dogs, Gophers, Pack Rats, Squirrels, Pastures, Ponds & pond scum, Alfalfa, Bats & Bat houses and many more. Resource based information and NMSU or other approved literature was provided to the clientele by mail. Most of the clientele were receptive to the information and I am fairly certain that at least 80% used the information in their particular situations. |
