3. (c) Possible Carriers. Possible carriers shall include all appliances used in the growing, harvesting, processing and hauling of the host plants and plant parts and any greenwaste residues including but not limited to tractors, trailers, trucks, planting, picking and pruning equipment and processing machinery, the premises and appurtenances thereto and any lands where host plants are growing or were grown during the past season, or any other thing which by scientific investigation is shown to be capable of harboring or spreading any stage of false codling moth.

4. (d) Means and Methods. The following means and methods may be used in the control and eradication of said pest within said area:

   1. (1) The repeated application of insecticides, as spray, dust, bait, or other form, herbicides, sprays or dusts or biological agents pheromones to disrupt mating or mass trapping by approved methods to any or all premises or lands, host plants or possible carriers, and any other articles or things that are infested or exposed to infestation and capable of harboring or spreading the false codling moth.
   2. (2) The removal and destruction of all plant parts known to harbor, or capable of harboring, any stage of false codling moth.
   3. (3) The removal and destruction of any and all possible carriers, including nursery stock or trees and shrubs if permission is received from the property owner, or if such action is the only practical way of eliminating the infestation of a host or possible carrier to prevent the spread or reinfestation of false codling moth.
   4. (4) The searching for all stages of false codling moth by visual inspection, the use of traps, or any other means anywhere within the said area.
   5. (5) The removal and destruction of abandoned or unwanted hosts or possible carriers bearing or capable of bearing false codling moth in any life stage.
   6. (6) Covering with tarps or enclosed construction of all trucks, trailers and other appliances hauling host plants, host plant crops or greenwaste residues to or from packing or processing facilities, greenwaste transfer stations, landfills, or elsewhere, to prevent spillage or blowout along roads.
   7. (7) The importation, rearing, or liberation of sterile forms of the false codling moth.
