SPOTTED LANTERNFLY
Spotted lanternfly was first found in the United States in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in 2014. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) set up a quarantine that has since grown to cover much of the state. Businesses that move regulated articles, including logs, firewood, equipment and vehicles, within or out of the quarantine must hold a PDA spotted lanternfly permit. Check PDA’s website for the current quarantine map and permit requirements.
