Cities affected by the Oriental Friut Fly Quarantine include parts or whole areas of Pasadena, Altadena, Alhambra, San Gabriel, San Marino.
We don’t know how long this quarantine will be in effect, but it is advisable that you keep an eye out.
As long as the state doesn’t start malathion spraying by helicopter, that was horrible years ago. Made you feel like we lived in a war zone.
