"It means we no longer have to jump those regulatory hoops to ship," Bedwell said. Mexico is one of California's top five export markets for table grapes and the third largest importer of stone fruit. As the weather warms and larvae emerge from eggs laid last year, traps in Napa County have shown few bugs, which Bedwell hopes will mean the eradication of the moth in California's premiere grape-growing region and the eventual lifting of all quarantines. Nobody yet knows how the moth got here, though some suspect it hitchhiked in on smuggled grapevine cuttings.
