  • Removed the Mexican Fruit Fly Quarantine in Willacy County, TX
  • Removed the Mexican Fruit Fly Quarantine in Starr County, TX

APHIS restricts the movement of domestic soil from areas within the continental United States that are under quarantine for specific plant pests. The Federal Domestic Soil Quarantines Map provides an overview of the plant pest quarantines that affect the movement of soil.  

This map is a general guidance tool only. For specific quarantine information, including quarantine boundaries and the requirements for moving domestic soil, contact your local APHIS State plant health director.
