Psylliodes punctulatus

Pest description and crop damage Adults are about 0.083 (1/12) inch long, metallic black beetles, that when disturbed jump like a flea. Adults feed on leaves primarily in the spring causing shothole damage. Severe infestations can defoliate plants.

Management-chemical control

Do not be alarmed if you learn or suspect that structural pests may be attacking your home; it will not collapse or be destroyed. Pest management should be considered merely as another repair that may be necessary to maintain your house in sound structural condition.
