Insects Were Found in the Sechach
Question
If I found three very small insects after inspecting the Kaines sechach (sechach for a sukkah), is it considered infested, or may it be used without doing anything?
Answer
Shalom u’vrachah
Since three were found, the sechach has the status of being infested, and it must be sprayed according to the guidelines, and then checked again to see whether any live insects remain.
If insects remain, the sechach must be replaced.
An instruction sheet for checking sechach is attached.
