Recent USDA surveys have shown that most new isolated infestations were started from egg masses moved on household items used or stored outdoors during the gypsy moths’ egg-laying stage. Under the proposal, people who are moving regulated outdoor articles will be responsible for making sure the items are free of gypsy moth egg masses, pupae cocoons caterpillars or adults.
