With the holidays upon us, we are urgently reminding Californians in fruit fly quarantine zones that they should not be moving homegrown produce off their property.

There are seven different fruit fly quarantines currently active in California, in the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Sacramento, Riverside, San Bernardino, Contra Costa, and Santa Clara. These invasive fruit flies can be spread to new areas on fruits and vegetables so the movement of these products is forbidden in quarantine areas.

Quarantine maps, restrictions, and other information is available online at: https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/pe/InteriorExclusion/quarantine.html.
