San Bernardino, Riverside Counties Under Oriental Fruit Fly Quarantine

Although the California Department of Food and Agriculture has eradicated the oriental fruit fly in Orange County, it has placed portions of San Bernardino and Riverside counties under quarantine due to multiple detections of the invasive species.

CDFA says detections in and around the cities of Ontario and Jurupa Valley resulted in a quarantine zone covering 131 square miles — 57 square miles in Riverside County and 74 square miles in San Bernardino County. The quarantine is bordered on the north by Highway 210, on the south by Norco, on the west by Ontario, and on the east by Rubidoux.
