Description

The sycamore lace bug, Corythucha ciliata (Say), was originally distributed throughout North America. In Japan, this bug was found for the first time in Aichi Prefecture in 2001, and until now it has distributed to a wide area from Kyushu to Hokkaido. Both adults and nymphs of C. ciliata feed on the underside of leaves of Platanus spp. trees. Platanus spp., host tree of C. ciliata, are often planted as roadside trees in busy areas in Japan, and C. ciliata has also become a nuisance in Kyoto Prefecture, as adults fly onto laundry and bedding drying on balconies adjacent to the trees. Therefore, to establish a control technique without spraying insecticide directly onto the tree, the effectiveness of trunk injection of thiamethoxam for control of C. ciliata was evaluated in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, in 2008. It was found that C. ciliata populations were restricted to low densities in trees where thiamethoxam had been applied.
