The entire state of Florida is quarantined for which pest?

  1. Citrus black fly

  2. Giant African Snail

  3. Imported Fire Ant

  4. Woolly white fly

The correct answer is: Giant African Snail

The Giant African Snail is subject to a quarantine across the entire state of Florida due to its significant impact on agriculture and the environment. This pest poses serious risks to a wide range of ornamental and agricultural plants, as it can consume large quantities of foliage and degrade plant health. The quarantine helps to prevent the spread of the snail and protect local ecosystems, as well as agricultural industries that could suffer from crop losses. In contrast, while the other pests listed can be problematic, their impact and distribution do not warrant a statewide quarantine in the same manner as the Giant African Snail does. This pest is particularly notorious for its rapid reproduction and capacity to harm crops, making stringent control measures essential.
