Apple Maggot Quarantine
Apple maggot is a pest that threatens Washington's iconic apple industry, as well as many of our other fruit crops. Apple maggot is spread through the transport of homegrown fruit and municipal waste into the pest-free areas of the state. Common fruits it targets include apple, crab apple, and hawthorn, among others. The apple maggot quarantine prohibits the movement of homegrown fruit and municipal waste from a quarantined area into or through a pest-free area. To view a map of the quarantine area, click here.
