The box tree moth was detected in Ohio in June 2023, near the border of Hamilton
and Clermont counties. More sightings have been confirmed in the quarantined
counties listed above. The invasive pests from East Asia pose a threat to boxwood
plantings and the horticulture industry. Boxwood is an important ornamental shrub that
is a valuable part of Ohio’s nursery stock economy. Federal and state officials are
asking industry and the public to report suspected box tree moth sightings through
ODA’s reporting tool. Ohio Department of Agriculture plant health inspectors and
United States Department of Agriculture staff will be conducting inspections and
placing traps to monitor populations. Box tree moths are not a threat to Ohio’s native
plants.
Residents can look for and report any potential infestation by following these steps:
● Familiarize yourself with the insect’s appearance and evidence of damage
on boxwood shrubs.
● Check any boxwood plants you have for signs of box tree moth life stages.
● If you find any evidence of infestation, take a picture, and report it.
Evidence of damage include chewed, cut, or missing leaves, yellowing or brown
leaves, white webbing, and green-black excrement on or around the plant. Box tree
moth caterpillars are green and yellow with white, yellow, and black stripes and black
spots. Adults are nocturnal and have white, slightly iridescent wings, with an irregular
thick brown border. Landscape professionals, nursery, and others in the green
industry can contact the Plant Pest Control Section if they have any questions about
the new regulation at 614-728-6400.
Please report any box tree moth sightings to ODA’s Division of Plant Health.
