The total count is stable at 118 since the initial detection on July 9th. The treatment areas remain unchanged. These traps contain a different bait, which attracts other fruitflies. So, although these traps are not considered a part of the Medfly program, they are a part of the overall fruit fly surveillance program.
Ground crews continue to treat buffered areas in the northern core.
The third aerial bait treatment for the northern block, and the second treatment of the southern block are scheduled for Saturday, August 1st. Results from first treatment previously reported.
