This pest was eradicated from the U.S. decades ago using sterile flies... We can stop it again!
Why inspecting, reporting & staying informed matters:
- Inspecting catches maggots early in wounds before they cause major damage or spread.
- Reporting quickly to your vet, TAHC, or USDA triggers quarantines, surveillance & sterile fly releases.
- Staying informed (tx.ag/screwworm) keeps you updated on restrictions and prevention so we all act fast.
Be alert, check your animals, and report anything suspicious. Together we can beat this!
