State Department of Agriculture widens quarantine zone from 13 counties

The spotted lanternfly is now in every county in New Jersey. The state Department of Agriculture on Wednesday widened the quarantine zone from 13 counties to all 21. The purpose of the alert is to raise awareness among residents, according to the department. It's asking everyone to check cars and personal items before traveling -- the bugs like to hitchhike.
