Welcome to the Insect Pest Prevention and Management (IPPM) Section at ODA!
firewood with eab damage
Please help protect Oregon's forests by not moving firewood from other states or even long distances within the state. Other states have damaging pests and diseases that are not yet established in Oregon such as emerald ash borer, sirex woodwasp, gypsy moth, Asian longhorned beetle, and oak wilt disease.
Even if you can't see any insects, holes, sawdust, or disease it doesn't mean that the wood doesn't have any invasive species hidden inside. There is a good chance that even the experts wouldn't be able to find organisms such as insect eggs the size of a pin head or microscopic fungus spores in a pile of firewood.

Pest Alert: Spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii)
spotted wing drosophila
Surveys conducted in Oregon found spotted wing drosophila (SWD) from Portland south into Douglas County. This fly is of concern because unlike most members of its family, which only attack overripe or decaying fruit, it attacks ripe, healthy fruit. Fruits attacked include apple, blueberry, cane berries, cherry, grape, peach, persimmon, plum, and strawberry. If you find SWD suspects or fruit that may be infested please contact the ODA at 503-986-4636 or 1-800-525-0137.
Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB)
brown marmorated stink bug
Have you seen this pest? The brown marmorated stink bug is a relatively new exotic species to Oregon. You may find these bugs seeking shelter in your house or apartment in the fall and early winter.
Grasshopper threat declining for the 2010 season
Oregon grasshoppers
The outbreak in Northeastern Oregon continued this year but was significantly suppressed by privately applied Dimilin hotspot treatments. In 2008 almost 680,000 acres in Baker County were recorded with economic infestations of up to 74 grasshoppers per square yard while this year infestation in Baker County was down to 21,000 acres. In total, almost 160,000 acres were grasshopper infested this year in eastern Oregon with almost half of the infestation located in Harney County.
