Be A Beetle Buster

For Educators | For Families

Local Beetle Busters are critical to USDA’s mission to stop the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB). In fact, alert community members have been the first to report every ALB infestation that has happened in the U.S. thus far.

Teachers, students and families all play important roles in saving neighborhood trees. By using the engaging tools provided here, it’s easy to learn the signs and search for the ALB and its signs, and report your sightings.

Check out the exciting resources that are now available to help communities become successful Beetle Busters!
