Asian Citrus Psyllid Update

Dec 15, 2010

What is happening with the Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP) in Southern California? We are happy to report that the areas were ACP has previously been found have not expanded much.

However, two adult psyllids were recently found in San Bernardino County.

And as of late November, no huanglongbing (HLB) disease has been found in California.

It is very important growers, landscape professionals and home gardeners continue to be on the lookout for this pest. Early detection is imperative for keeping this dangerous pest/disease complex in check. For further information about ACP and HLB, including how to inspect your trees please see the USDA's Save Our Citrus website.

Our office has hard copy outreach materials for those that are interested. Please contact our office if you would like some.
