When an infestation is present, treatment may be necessary. Freezing is commonly used to rid insect collections of pests.

Xylella fastidiosa is an aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium of the genus Xylella. [1] It is a plant pathogen, that grows in the water transport tissues of plants (xylem vessels) and is transmitted exclusively by xylem sap-feeding insects such as sharpshooters and spittlebugs.
Its larvae feed on the oleander plant. Like most wasp moths, these are day fliers. [2] They prefer Neotropic areas, to which they are native.
