The UK has eradicated the Colorado potato beetle after two years with no sightings since its 2023 detection in Kent.
The UK has officially eradicated the Colorado potato beetle after two years with no further sightings since its 2023 detection in Kent, according to Defra and APHA.
The pest, which threatens potato, tomato, eggplant, and pepper crops but not human health, was likely introduced via imported produce.
Success relied on public reporting by farmers, gardeners, and allotment holders, with surveillance confirming no ongoing presence.
Officials urge continued vigilance, asking anyone spotting the beetle—identified by its orange-yellow body and 10 black stripes—to report it to APHA with a photo and location.
