Eco-Friendly Pest Management
The Salinas Stormwater Program is dedicated to practices that protect and enhance our creeks, bays and ocean. Such practices foster healthy soil, water conservation, runoff and waste reduction, litter prevention, and the use of the least toxic practices for managing pests. Under each of the accordion panels below, you'll find information for both professional landscapers and home gardeners.
