What is Spotted Lanternfly and do I need PA Spotted Lanternfly Permit?
The spotted lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive insect that has spread throughout Pennsylvania since its discovery in Berks County in 2014. SLF feeds on the sap of many different plants including grapevines, maples, black walnut, and other plants.
To prevent the spread of spotted lanternfly, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture issued a quarantine for counties where the presence of this pest has been confirmed. Businesses and organizations conducting business in the quarantine zone must have permits from PDA to move vehicles, equipment, and goods within and out of the zone.
If you haul any products into or within the quarantine zone, you need to have a Permit issued by the PA Department of Agriculture.
A Permit provides evidence that you have training on how to follow the rules of the quarantine order, and you agree to do all you can to ensure that you are not carrying SLF.

PA SLF Permit must be placed in the truck binder.
