I ahu mai te pepeke rākau kōwhai i Āhia, pērā i a Īnia, Vietnam, Haina me ētahi atu whenua, ā, e pai ana ki a ia te noho ki roto i ngā karepe, i ngā hua kōhatu me ngā aporo. I te taenga mai o te pepeke rākau kōwhai ki Hapani, ki Kōrea ki te Tonga me te Hononga o Amerika, i kiia he pepeke whakangaro.
Neke atu i te 70 ngā momo rākau me ō rātou kiri me ngā rau e whāngai ana i a ia, ka tukuna he toenga piri e kiia nei ko te "honeydew" ki runga i te kiri me ngā rau, he paninga e whakatenatena ana i te tipu o te harore, te pokepokea pango rānei, ā, e aukati ana i te kaha o te tipu ki te ora. Ka pā te hihi o te rā e hiahiatia ana ki te photosynthesis o ngā tipu.
Ka kai te pepeke iraira i ngā momo tipu rerekē, engari ko te Ailanthus, ko te rākau Pararaiha rānei, he tipu whakaeke e kitea nuitia ana i roto i ngā taiapa me ngā ngahere kāore i te whakahaerehia, i te taha o ngā rori me ngā wāhi noho. Kāore he kino o te tangata, kāore e ngau, e ngote toto rānei.
Mēnā he nui ngā pepeke e pāngia ana e te mate, kāore he huarahi kē atu mā ngā tāngata engari ko te whakamahi i ngā matū hei whakahaere. Mēnā ka whakamahia tika, ka taea e ngā patu pepeke te whai hua me te haumaru hei whakaiti i ngā taupori pepeke. He pepeke tēnei e hiahia ana ki te wā, te kaha me te moni hei whakahaere, inā koa i ngā wāhi e tino pangia ana.
I Āhia, kei raro rawa te ngarara pūangi iraira i te mekameka kai. He maha ōna hoariri tūturu, tae atu ki ngā momo manu me ngā ngārara, engari i te Hononga o Amerika, kāore i te rārangi o ngā tohutao a ētahi atu kararehe, me urutau pea. Tērā pea kāore e taea te urutau mō te wā roa.
Ko ngā patu pepeke pai rawa atu mō te whakahaere pepeke ko ērā kei roto ngā matū hohe o te pyrethrins tūturu,bifenthrin, te karārira, me te dinotefuran.
