About Us
Xavier Asbridge, owner of IPM of New Hampshire,
is a Paul Smiths College graduate. After college he worked 20 years for
the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station where he was
involved in the identification and control of pests. He was one of the first in the country to deal with the Asian Longhorned Beetle, surveying CT forests and ports and studying the results.
Xavier also participated
in research and control of other invasive species such as Hemlock Woolly
Adelgid, Gypsy moth, and White grubs. His supporting role in such projects gave him the opportunity to work
with some of the leading scientists in the field. After moving to NH he worked as the IPM manager for a large estate/nursery where he gained
practical knowledge in the application of his profession.
