Clemson refines Asian longhorned beetle quarantine based on six years of eradication progress
The revised quarantine will take effect Aug. 23, 2026. Under the updated boundaries, the quarantine area centered around Hollywood will expand, while the quarantine area in Mount Pleasant will be reduced based on extensive survey data collected by Clemson University, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) and state and local partners.
