The board of county commissioners, board of township trustees, or legislative authority of a municipal corporation may authorize an agent to enter upon any lands in a quarantined area within the subdivisions for the sole purpose of inspecting such lands for the existence of the pest for which the quarantined area has been established. Such powers of inspection may be exercised by any such subdivision, through its agent, solely to prepare a campaign within the subdivision against a pest for which a quarantined area is established.
