Fruit Fly Update – Alternative Control Strategies

The Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) is responding to fruit fly outbreaks in the Riverland in Renmark West, Monash, Berri, Pike River and Cooltong.

To boost the eradication strategy, PIRSA is offering alternative control strategies to landholders within red outbreak areas.

If you’re within a red outbreak area, these strategies may impact the management of fruit fly on your property and require a discussion with one of our staff to work through how they can be best applied.

Please contact PIRSA as soon as possible so we can get your details to enable our staff to book at time to discuss the options for your property and work through the best option for you.

What you need to do

  1. Check if you are in a red outbreak area
  2. Call PIRSA’s industry hotline on 1800 255 556 or email PIRSA.RiverlandFFProgram@sa.gov.au

PIRSA will take your details to enable their staff to book a time to meet with you and discuss the options for your property.
