 Presently there is no commercially available biological control agent to control Amber marked birch leafminers, however Canadian trees in the Edmonton area have been successfully controlled with releases of a parasitic wasp, "Lathrolestes luteolator".Populations of the tiny parasitoid wasp selectively attack the most damaging birch leafmining pest ("Profenusa thomsoni") have developed and drastically reduced the problem in the Edmonton area of Canada.Following trials in 1995 that supported a dramatic reduction in birch leafminer damage by the first parasitoid, the City of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada discontinued pesticide treatments to almost 3,500 city birch trees in 1996 and 1997.
