The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture today expanded the state’s spotted lanternfly quarantine zone to include 8 additional counties.
The newly quarantined counties, which the department described as not completely infested, but rather having a few municipalities with known infestations, are Cambria, Cameron, Franklin, Lackawanna, Montour, Pike, Wayne and Westmoreland.
The expansion enlarges the quarantine zone to now cover 34 of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties.
“The spotted lanternfly is more than a pest in the literal sense,” said Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. “It’s wreaking havoc for home and business owners, kids who just want to play outside, Pennsylvania agriculture and the economy of the state we all call home.
