If you have business in New Jersey, please be advised that three counties (Mercer, Warren and Hunterdon) have recently been placed under quarantine in an attempt to slow the spread of the spotted lanternfly. Quarantine means that certain restrictions may be in effect for moving materials, and that vehicles and goods will need to be examined when moving out of the quarantined area to ensure that it is lanternfly-free. Please see the following news article: https://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2018/07/these_three_nj_counties_are_now_under_a_spotted_la.html.
