Spotted Lanternfly Quarantine

PDA announced on Friday that Butler County had been added to the spotted lanternfly quarantine zone. https://www.media.pa.gov/Pages/Agriculture_details.aspx?newsid=1302
Penn State Extension has a lot of great resources: https://extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly
An SLF permit is required for all businesses, agencies and organizations, agricultural and non-agricultural, working within the quarantine, which move regulated articles, such as products, vehicles and other conveyances, within or from the quarantine. A permit is also required to move regulated articles into any part of PA from areas with established SLF populations. https://extension.psu.edu/how-you-can-comply-with-the-spotted-lanternfly-quarantine-regulations

Here is a video that would be good to share on county websites and Facebook pages that would help citizens become aware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uin0GECoi4A&t=8s

The best thing we can do is become aware of them and do our part to combat them.
