Risk Season 1 September 2018 – 30 April 2019 Every year the department of agriculture review import conditions in time for the BMSB season, which begins in September each year. These bugs are not found in Australia and need to be kept out due to the severe impact it could have on our agricultural industries. They can arrive in Australia on cargo and containers shipped between September and April, coinciding with late autumn and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. The next BMSB risk season will see an expanded target list of countries including USA, Italy, Germany, France, Russia, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Georgia and Japan. Increased measures will include mandatory treatment and increased intervention before arrival into Australia.
