HONOLULU — Hawaii agriculture inspectors have screened 70 refrigerated containers of Christmas trees and wreaths shipped from the mainland.
Inspectors looking for foreign pests on Sunday found only six containers that were held back because slugs and yellow jacket wasps were found.
Officials will determine whether the pests are harmful to Hawaii.
Each container shipped by Matson Navigation Co. holds about 200 to 500 trees and dozens of wreaths.
