Prevention and Control
No biological control programmes have been developed for this pest species.
Host-Plant Resistance
Even though P. atomaria exists on multiple eucalypt species, certain eucalypts are more susceptible to attack than others. Where possible, less susceptible alternatives should be considered for forestry programmes. See Notes on Host Range for details.
Pheromonal Control
Little is known concerning pheromonal attractants in this species, so as a result no such means of control have been developed.
