Insect and arthropod identification is conducted by visual assessment using microscopic examination and other scientific procedures. This office also provides arthropod management advice, tick identification, and referral for tick testing. Inquiries and samples can be submitted via phone, email, mail, and in person. More information can be found in the Sample Submission and IIO Brochure sections.
