It is a severe pest in NA. There is not a potato grower without this pest. In the "old days" Paris Green was utilized for control. Imagine!
I expect the bug every year,and never am I disappointed, and control by picking, but my patch is small.
In the UK the pest must be reported if it appears.
One year my small potato patch was destroyed in a matter of days by this pest, whilst away for about a week.
