The IPSN has created new pest alert posters for newly detected pests that pose a significant threat to botanical collections.

We encorage Botanic Gardens and Arboreta to remain vigilant and to print and display these alert posters within their facilities to raise awareness among both staff and visitors.

The alert posters provide concise information about the pests of concern, including key details on how to identify them and guidelines on prevention and management.

Below, you will find all the available Alert Posters in PDF.

• New Guinea Flatworm
• Phastasma Scale
• Plane Lace Bug
