Gypsy Moths: Remove Before You Move
Gypsy Moths: The American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) have teamed up to educate movers and consumers about how to comply with federal regulations and stop the spread of gypsy moths across the country.

Gypsy moths are commonly introduced to new areas through human activity like egg masses attached to outdoor household articles, such as barbeque grills, lawn furniture and children’s toys.
