Showing Regulated and Quarantined Area for the light brown apple moth (LBAM). A Quarantine area is established when survey results indicate an infestation is present, the infestation area has been defined and the local California County Agricultural Commissioner(s) has been notified. An infestation is present when the CDFA determines that (a) A total of two or more LBAM adults are trapped within three miles of each other and during the timeframe of one lifecycle as determined by the degree-day phenology model; or (b) A mated female is trapped; or (c) One or more immature LBAM are confirmed through DNA analysis. An exception to this condition occurs in the event it can be determined that the presence of the immature LBAM was the result of the larvae being transported as a hitchhiker from an infested area into an area which is not regulated or under quarantine on nursery stock. The initial quarantine/regulated area shall be a minimum of a 1.5 mile radius surround the qualifying detections being used as an epicenter. Commercial host properties shall not be split by the quarantine/regulated area boundary line. Whenever possible known accepted features including but not limited to roads, streams, and other well established boundaries such as a city or state park shall be used.
