big day in Ted's world

Philly CBP intercepted a longhorn beetle in a shipment of Ecuadorian banana's. first of its kind in the US!

This made news?

it's a big deal, and cracks me up that some of you guys actually know what I do with how obscure my job is.

Explain. Seriously, no sarcasm, I'm curious.

My job is to stop very bad bugs and diseases from coming into the country. 2 big examples of battles we have lost is with the emerald ash borer and citrus greening.

the ash borer destroys ash trees. borrowing underneath the bark and killing the tree.


These are before and after images of the same street... all trees had to be removed.


here is another. Those trees are dead and will be cut.

There is no easy treatment. It came in off of a wooden pallet from Asia. It then got into our country and has just exploded. I check a lot of pallets to make sure they are treated so somehting like this doesn't happen again.


With Citrus Greening it is a disease that came in. It is now fully engulfed Florida citrus



The asian psyllid transmits the disease and it does not have a cure. It came over from Asia in 2005. This is why you can't take citrus out of Florida to California and other places in the the US. This disease makes fruit smaller and not visually appealing. Most Florida citrus is made into juice because of this.

Those are just 2 that have fucked shit up. With agriculture being a huge part of our economy, I'm trying to make sure bad insects and diseases don't come into the country as well as federal noxious weeds. Kudzu is a bad one that has done a lot of damage in the south and elsewhere.

I knew what you did. I meant explain why the beetle thing could be bad.

Still a good explanation tho

My in-laws have lost a ton of ash trees over the last few years. It's been a constant issue because they live about 100 yds from the road, through a wooded driveway.

Apparently, the shooter had a kill list, and 1 of the people on the kill list was found dead...in Minnesota.

Let's not forget fire ants and mole crickets. Kudzu was brought in on purpose as an alternative feed for cattle. Little bit of a miscalculation there. Fire ants and mole crickets came in the ballast of ships off loaded in Mobile Alabama. What Ted does is immeasurably important to US agriculture.
