Regulated areas for Japanese beetle in British Columbia

To prevent the spread of Japanese beetle in British Columbia, we have established regulated areas where the beetles have been detected.

The boundaries of the Japanese beetle regulated areas are effective as of: May 5, 2023. To see the  Government of Canada Map of restricted areas CLICK HERE 

Beetle Regulated Areas

As part of the coordinated response to the detection of Japanese beetle, the CFIA has established a regulated area for Japanese beetle in Vancouver, and an area in Burnaby. The regulated area has been expanded because of where beetles were caught in 2021.
A CFIA permission is required to move soil from the regulated areas.
