When the last outbreak happened a few years ago, they had people in high vis just come onto everyone's property and strip the fruit for them (whether they liked it or not I think)
Wow that's a legit response. Do they think that these kind of eradication efforts will ultimately stop the fly from becoming endemic or is it a regular surge in insect population that requires extreme measures regularly?
I think they can stop it from becoming endemic, it seems to have been controlled successfully a few times in the past. Unfortunately more Qfly seems to appear every few years, but that's partially why WA is so strict about throwing produce in the bin at the airport!
