 U.S.D.A. in the enforcement of quarantines No: A5 (Gypsy Moth), 

 No: 48 (Japanese Beetle), and the European Chafer.

 it involves treating soil, insect identification, fumigation, or 

 treating work using insecticides. 



An example of the various phases of quarantine work would be 

 the European Chafer program. The survey and trapping work is done
