Unfortunately Currituck County, NC has a confirmed identification of crapemyrtle bark scale. Samples were collected by Sarah Watts, Extension Agriculture Technician, and confirmed at the NC State University Plant Disease and Insect Clinic by Dr. Matt Bertone, Extension Associate. More information about identification can be found on this NC Department of Agriculture Pest Alert Link. There are also many resources available at: stopcmbs.com.
