Quarantine
The Insect Production Services insect quarantine program supports invasive alien species research activities conducted by the Canadian Forest Service.
The quarantine facility is independent from the insectarium and is equipped with multiple climate-controlled rearing rooms, environmental chambers and laboratories outfitted for entomological research.
Support is provided both for scientific personnel conducting experiments within the quarantine facility and for insectarium personnel who are developing rearing methodology to establish laboratory colonies of invasive alien species.
