(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.
(d) Means and Methods. The following means
					 and methods may be used in the control and eradication of said pest within said
					 area:
(1) The repeated application of
					 insecticides or herbicides sprays or dusts or biological agents or 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
					 which are infested or exposed to infestation and capable of harboring or
					 spreading the false codling moth.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(4)
					 The removal and destruction of abandoned or unwanted hosts or possible carriers
					 bearing or capable of bearing false codling moth in any life stage.
(5) 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.
(6) The importation, rearing, or liberation
					 of sterile forms of the false codling moth.
