This Entomology Insect Note describes the biology and control of the crapemyrtle aphid, a common pest of crapemyrtles that reduces plant vigor.
Crape Myrtle Bark Scale (CMBS), Acanthococcus lagerstroemiae, is an exotic insect pest that feeds only on crape myrtles (Lagerstroemia spp.). CMBS infestations can damage tree health and appearance if left unmanaged. CMBS was originally found in Texas in 2004 and has spread throughout the southeastern US and North Carolina.
This insect note contains a pest management calendar for crape myrtle insect and mite pests.
