What’s in your fields?

Sign up for the Bick Lab’s collaborative insect pest text alert service with Extension and WI DATCP to find out what insect pests are emerging and active in fields near you.

Each week, Extension and DATCP report statewide insect pest findings to the Bick Lab. Then, the Bick Lab sends out a “heads up” text to check for specific insect pests along with relevant resources based on emergence and presence patterns.

If you are having issues receiving or viewing the texts, first check that you signed up with a cell phone number; then check for texts received from the phone number (608) 351-8040. Sometimes, phones can place texts from unknown phone numbers in a “spam” folder. To avoid future issues, we recommend saving this phone number in your contacts under “Insect Pest Text Alerts.”
