What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced a regulated area for the spotted lanternfly (SLF) in Essex County, the city of Windsor, the township of Pelee, and the municipality of Chatham-Kent, Ontario, on October 23, 2026. Because an established population of SLF was found, regulations require that all goods moving out of the area must be free of all life stages of the pest. These restrictions apply to items such as nursery stock, firewood, and ornamental stones.
