Ohio Department of Agriculture Expands Spotted Lanternfly Quarantine Statewide

A quarantine in Ohio of the spotted lanternfly has been expanded statewide by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. That means trees and nursery stock cannot be transported out of Ohio without being inspected, having a certificate confirming they’re free of the invasive bug, and other requirements. The spotted lanternfly can harm the agricultural industry. The ODA is also no longer encouraging you to report spotted lanternfly sightings in Ohio. Click here for more details from the ODA.
