Bagrada Bug

The Bagrada bug is also known as the painted or harlequin bug. It was first discovered in June of 2008; in Los Angeles Co. California. Currently, the Bagrada bug enjoys wide distribution in southern California, and has become increasingly more common; in southern Arizona.

Many farmers and gardeners are see an increasing need to apply bug control treatments and strategies, to prevent Bagrada bugs from damaging important crops, like cabbage, kale, turnip, cauliflower, mustard, broccoli, and radish.

Because little or no pesticides are used, the heaviest infestations of Bagrada bugs are often seen in organic farms, community gardens, and residential vegetable gardens.
