Q:  What exactly does Teton County Weed & Pest do?

A:   Teton County Weed & Pest is a state mandated district that helps the State of Wyoming and Teton County control a designated list of noxious weed species and a small handful of designated pests.  Believe it or not, skunks, porcupines, spiders, voles, birds, badgers, coyotes and even mosquitoes are not on this designated state list.  (The Mosquito Abatement Program now handles mosquito control in Teton County.)  Our primary emphasis is noxious weed control and a variety of consultation services which we provide to Teton County residents.  However, whenever we can, we try to provide advice and consultation for any problems that arise.  We sell spray equipment and help with the set up and calibration of sprayer systems. We also offer 'no charge' spray equipment rentals. another program offered by Teton County Weed & Pest is our herbicide cost-share program, in which we share 50% of the cost of some of the most commonly recommended herbicides for residents of Teton County.   However, if you need work done on your property, please check out our services page to find a contractor that can help you with your problem.  If you need a consultation, herbicides, hay certification or simply have questions regarding a weed or pest, please give us a call.

Q:  At what rate should I apply my herbicide?

A:  Due to the wide variance amongst spray equipment, most likely we cannot answer this question for you.  First, you must read the herbicide label since chemical mixture instructions and rates may vary depending upon targeted weed species to be sprayed, time of season, type of spray unit, etc.  Second, you must have your spray equipment calibrated so that you know how much water it will put out over a given area at a given speed.  If you do not know how to calibrate your spray equipment, please go to our spray calibration page.

Q:  What does a hobo spider look like?

A:  Hobo spiders are very difficult to identify and this spider has been positively identified in Teton County.  Hobo spiders typically are light brown, with long, brown, hairy legs and are very similar in appearance to the more common wolf spider.  Please check out our hobo spider page for photographs and more specific information.
