This is the twentieth and last issue of the Home, Yard & Garden Pest Newsletter for 2001. Comments about the newsletter are always appreciated. Feel free to let me or any of the authors know what you like or dis-like about it as you see us at winter programs and other events. You can also contact any of us by phone, letter, or e-mail me at nixonp@mail.aces.uiuc.edu.

We are in somewhat of a transition stage between this newsletter's being offered only by mail to its being offered only on the Internet. Our mail subscriptions have dropped by two-thirds over the past few years as more people access this newsletter electronically. We do not know how many more years will pass before we make the transition completely to Internet access, but it is likely to occur.

If you are a mail subscriber, you will be contacted during the winter about renewing your subscription. We are expecting a modest $3.00 price increase in subscription rates to cover cost increases. Regardless of whether you receive this newsletter by mail or Internet, 2002 issues are expected to start in the first half of April. Thank you for your support and interest.
