Authorities confirmed the outbreak in a backyard apricot tree on 16 December and have begun an eradication program to eliminate fruit flies from the area and nearby surrounds, ensuring the pest does not spread.<\/p>\n
\u201cI commend the resident for reporting the suspect fruit fly larvae to PIRSA as it enables Biosecurity SA to get straight on the ground to respond,\u201d said Mr Secomb.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have staff now baiting and undertaking hygiene operations in the area to ensure any fallen fruit is removed from the outbreak area.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe State Government takes fruit fly seriously and it\u2019s a timely reminder these holidays especially to make sure you don\u2019t travel back to South Australia with fruit and vegetables.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is important to remember this outbreak does not affect South Australia\u2019s fruit fly free status.<\/p>\n
\u201cHome gardeners should also be vigilant in checking their fruit trees and removing any fallen fruit from the ground, as this material has the potential to become a fruit fly host.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
