The total count is 134 since the initial find on July 9th. The last fly was trapped on August 10th. Over 11,305 traps have been serviced since the initial detection in Sebring. The sixth aerial bait treatment is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning, at first light, pending favorable weather conditions. This treatment will take place only over the northern block.
Ground crews continue their work in the various buffered areas throughout the week.
They sampled prior to any Medfly aerial treatments, and again after the fourth treatment. They will also sample after the conclusion of the program. They have sampled Dinner Lake, Little Red Water, Little Bonnet, Denton Lake, and Lake Sebring. Again - these results are preliminary, with quantitative analysis pending. These are tentative classifications, and could change with additional information.
