Fruit Fly Spotted In San Carlos

Oriental Fruit Fly had been obtained on Prospect Street.

The County says that there is no cause for alarm as sightings of the
fruit fly during this time of year have occurred in the past. The
County Agriculture Department will be setting traps to prevent an
infestation.
