Topic spotlight
We often do not even think that the wood packaging material (WPM) used in trade to support, strengthen, and transport any production can pose any threat. However, there is a huge threat. Pests can spread with WPM. These harmful organisms do not choose - parks, private gardens, private yards with cultivated vegetation, or forest. Once in the country and under the right conditions, pests spread very quickly, and it is extremely difficult to eradicate them. The fight against already existing pests causes severe economic, emotional damage by cutting down and destroying all trees that are infected, regardless of where they grow and the value they have.
