This fall, DATCP is searching western Wisconsin for spongy moth egg masses tucked into trees and outdoor items. Staff with badges and high-visibility vests will knock on homeowners’ doors before checking their yards. Data collected from egg mass surveys will help plan future management efforts to slow the westward spread of this invasive insect. Learn more at datcp.wi.gov/Pages/Programs_Services/SMSurvey.aspx.

Weight loss products have always been popular, and scammers are known to take advantage of popular products and trends. Recently, GLP-1 medications have become a popular treatment for weight loss, diabetes, and other medical needs, so the demand is high and the availability is limited. This provides a perfect opportunity for scammers to target consumers with fraudulent sales listings and products.



Los productos para perder peso siempre han sido populares, y es sabido que los estafadores se aprovechan de las tendencias y los productos de alta demanda. Recientemente, los medicamentos GLP-1 se han convertido en un tratamiento popular para la pérdida de peso, la diabetes y otras necesidades médicas, por lo que la demanda es alta y la disponibilidad es limitada. Esto ofrece la oportunidad perfecta para que los estafadores se dirijan a los consumidores con ofertas y productos fraudulentos.
