Weekly fruit fly detections map

The weekly fruit fly detections map provides an up‑to‑date view of fruit fly activity in outbreak areas across South Australia.

Biosecurity is a shared responsibility, and providing weekly detection data helps industry, growers, and the community stay informed and actively involved in protecting our state. This information supports on‑farm management decisions, backyard garden hygiene, and compliance with movement restrictions.

The map shows how many fruit flies have been detected in red outbreak zones in the past week – map data is updated every Sunday.

Colours on the map indicate the number of detections: there have been no detections in grey areas ranging to more than 40 detections in dark red areas – refer to the map legend.

Stay alert and informed

Even if fruit fly detections appear low in your area, it’s essential not to become complacent.

• Weekly data reflects only what has been detected, not the full extent of fruit fly presence.
• Low numbers do not mean the risk has passed.
• Ongoing monitoring, correct disposal of fruit, and following movement restrictions remain critical to our eradication efforts and preventing the spread of fruit fly.

Continued vigilance from industry, growers, and the community is vital to protecting South Australia’s $1.3 billion horticulture industry.
