Please use this list as a guide to organize your cleaning and checking process. The goal is to look over each item thoroughly and remove any foreign material. If there are unnoticed life stages of an invasive species on your belongings, your process will remove them.
Directions are provided for some common camping and recreation items, but you may have different items. For each item, pay special attention to grooves, crevices, and the underside/interior.
Check and clean your belongings frequently.
Cleaning and checking recreation belongings before the move is important to prevent transporting an invasive species with you.
This process is not only helpful to complete before moving your belongings to a new home, but each time you use your recreation belongings away from home. Establishing the habit of cleaning and checking your belongings when you depart for a trip and get ready to return home will help prevent transporting invasive species with you.
Please note: These lists do not substitute the mandatory USDA APHIS spongy moth checklist. If you are moving from a location within the spongy moth quarantine area to a location outside the quarantine area, you must inspect your outdoor household items for spongy moth and remove all life stages of this destructive insect before you move. You and your moving company may face penalties if you are required to inspect but fail to do so. Not sure if you are located in a spongy moth quarantine area? Visit the Your Move Spongy Moth Free webpage to find out.
