Spongy moth quarantine expands in Wisconsin

On May 1, 2026, USDA APHIS and the state of Wisconsin expanded the quarantined area for spongy moth, *Lymantria dispar*, by adding Green and Sawyer Counties in Wisconsin. The official notice was published as [NAPPO Official Pest Report 1197](https://www.pestalerts.org/nappo/official-pest-reports/1197/). The reason for the expansion was direct: moth populations in Green and Sawyer Counties reached the threshold to trigger quarantine expansion. The action was effective immediately.

Japanese pine sawyer flight season puts vector monitoring back in focus

During the May-July pine sawyer flight season, Japanese pine sawyer beetles (*Monochamus alternatus*) return to the center of pine wilt disease monitoring. The [EPPO Global Database entry for *Monochamus alternatus*](https://gd.eppo.int/taxon/MONCAL) identifies the pest as MONCAL / Japanese pine sawyer and includes sections for distribution, host plants, and vector status. The reason this seasonal window matters is direct: Japanese pine sawyer beetles and other *Monochamus* spp. are primary vectors of pine wood nematode (*Bursaphelenchus xylophilus*), the causal agent associated with pine wilt disease. For monitoring programs, the priority is early detection during peak flight, before vector activity is missed.

July Thrips and Aphid Pressure in Protected Cropping

July can be a high-pressure month for greenhouse and protected-crop pest management. Western flower thrips (*Frankliniella occidentalis*) can damage crops directly through feeding and oviposition, and it is also associated with serious plant-virus risk. Aphid complexes, including green peach aphid (*Myzus persicae*), add a second monitoring challenge because aphids can build quickly in warm protected systems and contribute to virus-vector pressure. This seasonal brief is not a single outbreak alert. It is a calendar-driven IPM prompt: when greenhouse conditions favor rapid pest population growth, monitoring and behavior-based tools should be active before pressure becomes difficult to manage.

Stink Bug Build-Up: Aggregation Lures for Early Warning

July is a practical monitoring window for stink-bug programs in the Northern Hemisphere. Brown marmorated stink bug (*Halyomorpha halys*) is an invasive plant-health pest associated with fruit, vegetable, field, and ornamental hosts, and seasonal movement into crops can make early field signals more valuable than reactive scouting after damage appears. This seasonal brief focuses on brown marmorated stink bug and southern green stink bug (*Nezara viridula*) programs where aggregation pheromone traps are used for detection, population tracking, and mass-trapping support. The goal is not an eradication claim. The goal is to help growers and IPM teams know when pressure is building, where activity is concentrated, and whether local control decisions should intensify.

Advancing Crop Protection: Pheromone Solutions for Stink Bugs and Leafminers

In the ongoing battle against destructive crop pests like the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, Harlequin Bug, and Tomato Leafminer, pheromone-based control strategies are emerging as a precise and environmentally sound solution. This article explores how specific pheromones are being deployed to create an effective green shield for vegetable and row crops.
