Pine Shoot Beetle (PSB)
Tomicus piniperda

Pine Shoot Beetle (PSB) (Tomicus piniperda) is an insect pest of pine trees. It is a native of Europe and was first detected in Ohio in 1992.

Feeding off of new pine shoots stunts growth of the pine tree. This is just one of many forest pests that are moved to un-infested forests by humans moving firewood. Help protect our forests: don't move firewood!

Visit the Pine Shoot Beetle program page for more information about this pest.
