The Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides (NCAP) is the leading Northwest voice for non-toxic pest and weed solutions. Since 1977, NCAP has been promoting safe pest and weed alternatives for the health of people and the environment. We work in Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

NCAP understands that both pests and pesticides are a problem. We seek solutions coming from a change in approach – a difference in mindset – rather than a change in synthetic chemistry or a new product with a silver bullet and a warning label. We help people become more pest-aware and to learn to deal with pests in ways that avoid the use of pesticides that harm our health, wildlife, soil, water, and the air we breathe. We work with diverse partners to learn the science behind the problems and solutions.
