2023-2024 NYSIPM Annual Report
The New York State Integrated Pest Management program is proud to present its 2023-2024 Annual Report, highlighting our continued dedication to sustainable pest management and our commitment to creating a healthier and more resilient New York State.
2023-2024 Highlights
While New York State Integrated Pest Management accomplished tremendous things in 2023-2024—we expanded our statewide footprint, developed innovative alternatives to neonicotinoid pesticides, served as a recognized leader in the control of invasive species and conducted essential outreach to keep schools and communities safe from pests—none of our successes would have been realized without the help of our partners and collaborators across the state.

Our Partners
NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets
Commissioner Richard Ball
"Here at the Department, we work hard to combat the spread of harmful invasive species like the Box Tree Month, Asian Longhorned Beetle, and Spotted Lanternfly. We’re fortunate to have such a strong partnership with the New York State Integrated Pest Management program team, whose work is at the forefront of innovative research to help address the impact of these pests and their threat to New York State’s agricultural industries and natural resources. Together, we are working to educate farmers, plant growers and dealers, and the public about the impact of invasive species and how to protect the health of New York’s farms, environment, and economy."
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
Interim Commissioner Sean Mahar
“Preventing damage from harmful pests while protecting public and environmental health is a team effort, and DEC is grateful for partners like the Cornell University-based New York State Integrated Pest Management Program and the Department of Agriculture and Markets. The New York State Integrated Pest Management Program’s education and outreach to farmers and gardeners bolsters our ability to safely prevent, control, and reduce the threat of species that threaten the health and wellbeing of people, wildlife, and natural resources statewide. In addition, the community IPM program is providing valuable education about safer pest control to building mangers, homeowners, and schools to protect children and at-risk communities.”
