Chrysobothris spp. are common problems in nursery production and landscape. Females prefer to oviposit at the base of trees, which can lead to partial or complete girdling of trees. By modifying the habitat at the base of the trees, infestations may be suppressed by making the trees less desirable oviposition sites.
