Wanted! Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer beetle. This troublesome invasive species is a significant threat to the trees of Southern Africa. The beetle carries a fungus which kills trees. The PSHB penetrates host trees through the bark, into the wood. Entrance holes can be seen having brown stains around, due to the fungus it carries. Other signs of entry are visible through the presence of small heaps of sawdust, “bleeding”, noodles, stains or sap-flow. Report any PSHB sightings to the Cape Town Inva

Work will begin later this month to remove trees infested with Polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB) from Hyde Park. Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) will remove 144 trees in phases. The trees are heavily infested with PSHB, right down to the lower trunk. With no known treatment for PSHB, trees can become unsafe and die in as little as two years. Removal is currently the only way to stop the pest spreading to other trees. Losing trees will be difficult for all of us

We are doing everything we can, alongside the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, to see the pest eradicated. We need your help. Most cases of borer infestation are in trees on private properties. If you’re tidying your yard over the holiday break, check tree trunks and branches for signs of PSHB. 🔍 Find out what to look for and report here: www.agric.wa.gov.au/borer Alison Xamon, Vince
