🚨 Help Protect San Benito County from Invasive Pests! 🚨
If you purchased a grapevine plant from Costco between April 21 and May 21, 2026, please inspect it for signs of the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (GWSS)—an invasive pest that can spread disease to grapevines and other plants.
🔎 Look for:
• Egg masses
• Very small immature insects
• Adult insects (about ½ inch long)
If you find signs of GWSS:
✅ Contact the San Benito County Agriculture Department immediately.
❌ Do not move, return, or throw away the plant.
🛍️ Double-bag the plant until you receive further instructions.
📞 (831) 801-9225
📧 SBCAG@SanBenitoCountyCA.gov
Together, we can help protect our vineyards, agriculture, and local environment.
