The chronological occurrence, survey methods, and eradication programs of the grape phylloxera, <i>Phyiloxera vitifoliae</i> (Fitch), in British Columbia are described. The insect was first found in the Okanagan Valley in 1961. Though an eradication program at that time was apparently successful, the insect reappeared in 1971. It is now well established in the area. The pest was accidentally introduced on imported vines.
