1 in the country,” Lovett said, adding a deadpanned “yay” to note that the distinction is not one to be happy about. “We have over 60 different invasive pests and pathogens in New York, which ranks us No. Pests like emerald ash borer and hemlock woolly adelgid are threatening to dramatically change the forest landscape of the Northeast, and New York is the hardest hit - not just in the Northeast, but the United States at large. “That was a big government change in the enforcement of the rules, and it has inspired companies to find a solution.”īut, he said, it’s not enough. “All of a sudden some of these companies are faced with large fines,” said Lovett. Before that, it took five infractions before they received a slap on the wrist. Customs started penalizing companies every time an invasive pest was found in its wooden packaging. Lovett said actually, regulations have been strengthened in recent years. I think it’s the strength of the reaction to the problem that is causing the problem.” “It seems to me if we repeatedly get infested material from a country, actions should be taken. “We are being too soft on our trading partners that send us material that is infested,” said Lovett. International trade is how most invasive pests get into the country, often through wooden packaging, such as wood pallets. “Why aren’t those efforts working? I would like a self-assessment from the USDA.”Īsked why he thinks current practices aren’t working, he said he believes the government isn’t being firm enough in its regulatory standards for international trade.
“I would like them to call the leadership of the Department of Agriculture to explain what they’re doing to try to solve this problem to keep these pests out,” said Lovett. On that note, he said, he’d like the Department of Agriculture to explain what they’re currently doing to solve the problem and why it isn’t working. We know how these things are getting in.” “We know what it does, economically and ecologically.
“There is a lot of science on this,” said Lovett. First, he said, he would like Congress to bring in experts who can explain the problem in terms of its causes and impacts. Unfortunately, these actions don’t always resolve fringing problems, but it can prevent it from happening some of the times.In an interview with the Times Union last week, Lovett said he wants Congress to investigate why the government’s current practices for keeping invasive pests out aren’t working.

In this article I’ll go over what it is, how to prevent it, and how to get rid of it.
It was a problem created by my digital camera when I took the shot! It’s more than likely you’ve already noticed it in your images. At first I thought the lab made the mistake, but nope. Upon checking it, I noticed a problem with the print that was so blatant I couldn’t deliver it to my client. A couple years after starting my business, I received a large print from my lab.
