The quarantine area covers a 79-square-mile area.
The quarantine-in-place order comes after over 20"Tau" fruit flies were detected in the area of Stevenson Ranch, near the City of Santa Clarita. The quarantine area covers 79 square miles.
Tau fruit flies are an invasive species, native to Asia, that are considered serious pests to agriculture and natural resources. Hosts include fruits and vegetables, and a select range of native plants in California. Under the order, fruits and vegetables"can consumed or processed at the property where they were picked. Otherwise, they should be disposed-of by double-bagging in plastic and placing the bags in a bin specifically for garbage," the CDFA said in a press release.
