A short video Polyphagous Shothole Borer Beetle
The invasive Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) has now spread to the southern suburbs of Cape Town. Due to the infestation many reproductive host trees have been removed. This pest poses a serious threat to our urban forest, natural forest, and valuable monumental trees. Serious actions and decisions from the authorities and those working in the green industry have to be taken.
