Emergency: Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter in Stanislaus County
As part of the Pierce’s Disease Control Program's rapid response protocol, visual surveying and trapping in the area have found 54 GWSS adults, three nymphs, one viable egg mass, and 11 emerged egg masses on both commercial and residential properties. The Stanislaus County Agricultural Department is investigating the area to determine the extent of the infestation. Click for a map of the current boundaries.
The PDCP has initiated a Proclamation of an Emergency Program for this new infestation, with treatments planned through November 2026. PDCP will hold a public meeting with the community on Wednesday, Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. to discuss the response plan and will notify property residents before starting any treatments. Biocontrol is also being used to eradicate this infestation and PDCP has released 1,890 biocontrol agents at nine sites in the area.
