How do I know if Im in the quarantine zone for the Asian longhorned beetle?
The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) quarantine zone is a regulated area where beetles or ALB damage have been found. It encompasses over 100 square miles of Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and Staten Island. Up-to-date maps of the quarantine zone can also be found at the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSDAM). This area is expanded and maps updated as new infestations are found. Residents should be alert for ALB infestations wherever they are and notify the proper authorities should they suspect an infestation.
