In order to be certified compliant by the County Agricultural Commissioner, local businesses such as nurseries and landscapers allow ALL incoming potential host plant material to be inspected by the County's team of experts. When new shipment arrives, the business tags the stock for inspection, and notifies the County. The County will either release the material or send out a team within 48 hours.

The following types of stock DO NOT require inspection:

1. Greenhouse grown plants from non-infested areas.
2. Leafless, dormant plants
3. Buds, bulbs, corms, cut flowers, cut foliage, pips, seeds, stolons, and tubers
4. Stock from nurseries located within the Bay Area Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Sonoma, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Francisco that exclusively produce and ship bedding plants, color, or vegetable starts, and are within a GWSS uninfested area.

Businesses who demonstrate compliance with this program are given a certificate of compliance by the County Agricultural Commissioner, and materials to distribute to their employees and customers. Certificates are marked with the Sharpshooter Spotter seal above and the seal of the Napa County Agricultural Commissioner. All employees are also trained to understand the impact of the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter and share this information with customers.
