SACRAMENTO, November 6, 2024 — A portion of Orange County has been placed under quarantine for the oriental fruit fly following the detection of eight flies in and around the cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove. The quarantine zone measures 87-square miles, bordered on the north by Anaheim; on the south by John Wayne Airport; on the west by Huntington Beach; and on the east by State Highway 55. Link to the quarantine map.

To prevent the spread of oriental fruit flies through homegrown fruits and vegetables, residents living in the quarantine area are urged not to move those items from their property. However, they may be consumed or processed (i.e., juiced, frozen, cooked, or ground in the garbage disposal) on the property where they were picked or disposed of by double bagging and placing in the regular trash, not green waste.
