March 2022 update: Yap - FSM: Eradication efforts for LFA have been ongoing in Yap since 2018. LFA traps were set at ports of entry and infested sites were treated with insecticides monthly. An education and outreach campaign to engage local communities in reporting LFA resulted in successful location of five new LFA-infested sites over three municipalities. The USDA Forest Service continues to provide funds to combat these infestations.
