June 2025: Polyphagus shot hole borer (PSHB)
June 2025: Polyphagus shot hole borer (PSHB)
The federal government has now moved to a policy of containment against the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) after the National Management Group determined it was no technically feasible to eradicate the pest in Western Australia.
A strict quarantine zone remains in place against the tiny yet destructive PSHB. Visit the DPIRD website for more information about this tree-destroying beetle, including how to identify and report signs of this pest to minimise the spread.
The PSHB beetle poses a serious risk to our orchard industry and native trees.
