The New World Screwworm (NWS) is a devastating pest that can affect livestock, pets and wildlife. While it may sound alarming, staying informed and taking precautions can go a long way in protecting your animals. NWS larvae (maggots) can cause wounds by feeding on living tissue. It’s currently found in parts of Central and South America but has recently spread north into Mexico. Adult screwworm flies are about the size of a common housefly (or slightly larger). They have orange eyes, a metallic blue or green body, and three dark stripes along their backs. Awareness and prevention are key!

Keep an eye on your animals for signs like:
⚠️ Unusual behavior or head shaking
⚠️ Signs of irritation or bad odor
⚠️ Visible maggots in wounds

Easy Ways to Prevent NWS:
✅ Regularly check your animals, especially if you've traveled internationally
✅ Make sure pets and livestock crossing borders are properly inspected
✅ Be mindful when returning from NWS-affected areas
