Santa Clara County agricultural officials have launched an unusual door-to-door tactic to track down approximately 1,300 grapevine and desert willow plants sold at Costco locations in California that may be carrying a destructive invasive pest. The unusually aggressive effort zones in on customers who purchased these plants between April and early July 2026. Officials are urging residents to check their yards and report any such plants bought from Costco, as they could be harboring the glassy-winged sharpshooter, an insect known to spread Pierce’s disease.
