Survey and Regulatory Guidelines

A statewide management program is being implemented to counter the threat posed by glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS) and the bacterial diseases it vectors. This program includes survey activities to determine the distribution of GWSS in California and detect new infestations, and regulatory activities to prevent the artificial spread of GWSS to uninfested at-risk areas. Guidelines have been prepared to assist and direct those conducting the survey and regulatory activities. The guidelines are available via the links below.
