CONSUMER ALERT: Invasive Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter Found on Plants Shipped to California Costco Stores

The Shasta County Agricultural Commissioner is urgently asking residents to take immediate action after invasive glassy-winged sharpshooters were detected on plant shipments delivered to Costco stores throughout California.

Residents who purchased grapevines or citrus plants from any Costco store since April 21, 2026, are strongly urged to follow the instructions below immediately to help prevent the spread of this destructive agricultural pest:

🍇FOR GRAPEVINES (This does not include grapes purchased at Costco)
Place two garbage bags over plants and secure them tightly. Then, contact your county agricultural commissioner.

🍊FOR CITRUS PLANTS (This does not include citrus fruit purchased at Costco)
Contact the Agriculture Department immediately to schedule an inspection.

đźš«Do not return, transport, relocate, share, or give away plants, and do not place plants in trash bins or compost containers.

đź“žContact the Shasta County Agriculture Department at (530) 224-4949 or by email at [email protected] to schedule pickup of grapevines and/or inspection of citrus plants and receive guidance on preventing further spread of the glassy-winged sharpshooter.

“Glassy-winged sharpshooters pose a serious threat to vineyards, agriculture, and backyard plants throughout Shasta County and nearby areas,” said John Ingram, Shasta County Agricultural Commissioner. “These insects spread the bacterium called Xylella fastidiosa that causes Pierce’s disease, which can kill grapevines and severely damage vineyards. We need the community’s help to prevent the spread. If you recently purchased grapevines or citrus plants from Costco, please contact the Agriculture Department immediately so we can safely contain and eliminate this threat.”

Our Plant Sale is next Friday and Saturday.

Join the Shasta College Horticulture Department for their 55th Annual Spring Plant Sale!

Friday, April 3rd, and Saturday, April 4th, from 9am - 5pm at the Shasta College Farm

Thousands of plants will be available for purchase, including annuals for bedding and cut flowers, perennials, herbs, succulents, and a wide variety of vegetable starts. Trees, shrubs, California native plants, and houseplants will also be offered. Many of the plants are unusual or hard to find and have been carefully selected because they grow well in the Redding area. Students have also started a diverse selection of Certified Organic vegetable plants.

Visitors are invited to explore beautiful plant displays that showcase many of the varieties available at the sale. The event is organized and staffed by the Shasta College Horticulture Club, and all plants are sustainably grown by students. All proceeds will help support Shasta College's Horticulture Program and student scholarships. Shasta Master Gardener, Native Plant Society members, or Horticulture students or faculty will be available to answer any of your gardening questions.

The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) will also be on site selling a wide selection of California Native plants to raise funds for local student scholarships and restoration.

For more information, contact Leimone Waite, Horticulture Instructor, at (530) 242-2210 or [email protected].
