Clermont County Extension participates in Kudzu Bug Research

Photo taken October 2015 in Clermont County. G. Neal.

We do have the plant in Clermont County so Gigi Neal, OSU Extension Educator for Agriculture and Natural Resources is participating in a kudzu bug research project this summer. Let’s hope that the trapping continues to follow previous years – zero found!
