Last I heard the pest is still limited to the state of PA and is contained within a small number of counties. It is currently under quarantine and investigation as to its current range. I believe it was discovered around 2014, and so its spread is still relatively "slow", yet certainly concerning. It may not have yet reached that critical mass, and it would be excellent if the efforts of the commonwealth were successful in containing it. The State is putting considerable efforts into this program, partially (I would imagine) because it has the potential to disrupt a major economic driver in PA (fruit and wine industries). </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">We have put up posters here at the <span id="m_3457767282804220557m_8806551683473011027:12u.2">ATC</span> Mid-Atlantic Office in Boiling Springs.
