Preventing the Spread of Spongy Moth FAQs
Areas are quarantined for spongy moth once the moths have invaded and become permanently established. Spongy moth quarantines are intended to slow the human-assisted or artificial spread of spongy moth from infested to non-infested areas. The quarantine makes it illegal to transport potentially infested items (such as logs, firewood, nursery stock, campers, and picnic tables) from the quarantined area to a non-quarantined area without first taking appropriate actions.
For the general public, self-inspection of items that could be harboring spongy moth and removal of all spongy moth life stages is required prior to moving items to a non-quarantined area.
