“…When pooled together, the 4 target species (C. mutilatus, X. compactus, X. crassiusculus, and X. germanus) composed 86.4% (Tangipahoa Parish, LA), 91.7% (Stone County, MS), 69.6% (Georgetown County, SC), and 63.7% (Pickens County, SC) of the total ambrosia beetles collected over 2 yr. Xylosandrus crassiusculus was consistently one of the most abundant species at all research sites. Similar to findings from other regional studies, X. germanus was not recovered from nurseries located in Stone County and Tangipahoa Parish, whereas C. mutilatus was not collected from the nursery located in Georgetown County, SC (Werle et al 2012(Werle et al , 2014.…”

“…Assessing the utility of insecticide-treated and ethanol-baited netting as a barrier fence around vulnerable trees also is warranted. Modifying the color of the netting could also provide an additional form of optimization since Werle et al [41] demonstrated black or red traps were more attractive to ambrosia beetles than white traps.…”

Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are destructive wood-boring insects of horticultural trees. We evaluated long-lasting insecticide netting for protecting stems against ambrosia beetles. Container-grown eastern redbud, Cercis canadensis, trees were flood-stressed to induce ambrosia beetle attacks, and deltamethrin-treated netting was wrapped from the base of the stem vertically to the branch junction. Trees were deployed under field conditions in Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, and Mississippi with the following treatments: (1) flooded tree; (2) flooded tree with untreated netting; (3) flooded tree with treated ‘standard mesh’ netting of 24 holes/cm2; (4) flooded tree with treated ‘fine mesh’ netting of 28 holes/cm2; and/or (5) non-flooded tree. Treated netting reduced attacks compared to untreated netting and/or unprotected trees in Mississippi in 2017, Ohio and Tennessee in 2018, and Virginia in 2017–2018. Inconsistent effects occurred in Mississippi in 2018. Fewer Anisandrus maiche, Xylosandrus germanus, and Xyleborinus saxesenii were dissected from trees deployed in Ohio protected with treated netting compared to untreated netting; trees deployed in other locations were not dissected. These results indicate long-lasting insecticide netting can provide some protection of trees from ambrosia beetle attacks.

“…Alternatively, a plastic bottle baited with ethanol was used in combination with red-coloured sticky traps (Saruhan & Akyol, 2013) whose plates can intercept flying adults. Red traps combined with ethanol seem to be preferred by many ambrosia beetles, compared with yellow or white ones (Werle et al, 2014). The distribution of this beetle can also be evaluated by direct observations of wilted or flagged infested twigs and of infested branches and trunks, with subsequent laboratory identification of the pest species.…”

First data on the flight activity and distribution of the ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus compactus (Eichhoff) on carob trees in Sicily

The factors influencing the entry and the spread of the black twig borer, Xylosandrus compactus (Eichhoff), in the Mediterranean environment have not yet been characterized. Following its first report in Sicily (southern Italy) in 2016, and due to the high level of damage it causes on one of its host plants (Ceratonia siliqua L.), the flight activity of the pest was studied there. Monitoring was performed from spring 2017 to summer 2018 by exposing red cross‐shaped sticky traps combined with ethanol‐baited bottle traps. The three monitored sites were selected at different altitudes, representing the southern Mediterranean environment where the carob tree is widely present. The results showed that the pest populations are influenced by climatic factors. In particular, the first adults were caught when the maximum daily temperatures were stably higher than 20°C over several continuous days. Xylosandrus compactus occurred widely in the monitored territory and was continuously caught from spring to autumn. Furthermore, the traps used proved to be effective for intercepting the spring flight of the overwintering females. Moreover, the ability of the beetle to spread from a new infested area was also studied. It seems that the pest can spread more than 8 km from the last infested site of the previous flying season. It was not present above altitudes of 400 m in the conditions of the present study. This study represents the first step to better understand the behaviour of X. compactus in a newly colonized environment.
