Asian longhorned beetle search leaves Woodhaven doorbells ringing
Queens Chronicle

The USDA and state agents have been ringing doorbells in Woodhaven seeking access to backyards to look for evidence of the beetle. Ed Wendell, president of the WRBA, said he found out about the investigation from residents who called and complained about plain-clothed officers claiming to be from “the city” or “the Parks Department” asking for access to backyards to search for the beetle.
