§ 5741 Pest Prevention In Appliances

Key Takeaways

  • •The government can make a list of bugs or pests that can spread through things like plants or equipment.
  • •They can also say how to treat these things to stop the bugs from spreading.
  • •This is to keep pests from moving to new places where they don’t belong.

Example

A farmer wants to sell plants to another state, but the plants have tiny bugs on them.

The government can say, 'You must spray the plants with this special stuff to kill the bugs before you sell them.' If the farmer doesn’t do it, the bugs could spread and hurt other plants.
