Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM), an invasive pest native to Australia, was confirmed for the first time in California and the continental United States in March 2007.
The Sonoma County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office is responsible for the detection of noxious pests in the county, and education and outreach to the community and agricultural industry regarding these pests and the quarantine restrictions. We are working directly with agriculture and related industries to help them meet state and/or federal requirements to move their commodities, and to ensure their business is impacted as little as possible.
