Fruit fly infestation in South Bay is causing problems for farmers, impacting San Jose orchard

The state is implementing an emergency program for properties within a 4.5-mile radius of Medfly detections. Starting November 1, Tower said he and his family will have to spray the orchard every 10 days with insecticide. "It's all organic, it's 95% molasses, and that's what draws them in... to make sure they get the other 5%, which is a surfactant which suspends the sterilization," Tower said. It's a treatment Tower and other growers will have to do for 190 days.
