Checking your purchased Christmas trees for live insects
With the holidays approaching many cut trees and wreaths are being shipped up to Alaska. Sometimes small insect visitors tag along with the tree and "wake up" once exposed to warm indoor temperatures. We like to keep an eye on some of these potential pathways for unintended insect introductions to help prevent introductions of potential threats to our forests. If you find live insects in a purchased cut tree or wreath you can send a photo and notes about your observation to UAF Cooperative Extension Service at alaskapestreporter.org
Happy holidays!
