Florida shaken by Medfly discovery
Three Mediterranean fruit flies were found in a Tampa yard triggering a search for more insects and prompting state officials to restrict California imports to protect Florida's four billion dollar annual produce industry. Malathion spraying will begin in a six block area on the east side and aerial spraying is planned for a nearby 1.5 square mile zone. Governor Graham supports aerial spray if fertility tests confirm the threat, while California officials debate source and fly fertility.
