One unchecked aphid infestation wiped out a neighbor's entire pepper crop in a single season, and David Harrison, who'd been catching beetles in his backyard since he was a kid, decided he wanted to understand why. He studied Entomology at the University of Georgia, earning a Bachelor of Science with an emphasis on insect identification and integrated pest management. His writing on garden pests and plant disease centers on catching problems early: recognizing the first signs of infestation, understanding pest life cycles, and weighing treatment options before damage spreads.
