D2B—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, July 2,1983
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U S.
Department of Agriculture is
proposing to regulate the
movement of outdoor household
articles lawn furniture, camping
equipment and garden tools to
prevent the interstate spread of the
gypsy moth during household
moves from infested to non
infested areas.
“We’re proposing that all out
door household articles being
moved from a high risk gypsy
moth area generally the Nor
theastern states into or through
a non-regulated area, must be free
of all gypsy moth life stages,” said
Bert Hawkins, administrator of
USDA’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.
“We’re counting on people to
cooperate with this program
don’t take an old pest to a new
neighborhood,” Hawkins said.
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.
