Additional traps have been placed around the site and will be regularly monitored.

How many suburbs has Biosecurity SA distributed the pamphlet to? 4.	What areas have been affected and how many incidents of maggot infestation have been reported since? 5.	What is the latest update on this matter? 6.	What strategies have the minister and Biosecurity SA put in place to prevent the spread of fruit fly to other areas? The Hon. I.K.
