The state of California is trying to decimate invasive fruit flies by unleashing millions of sterile ones over Los Angeles.
If you live in Los Angeles and look up, there’s a chance you might see them: small twin-engine airplanes circling over the city, unleashing hundreds of thousands of insects marked with a unique purple dye. And though it might sound unusual, it will likely become a common sight.
Jay Van Rein, a spokesperson for the CDFA, told SFGATE that the agency plans to unleash 250,000 sterile male fruit flies per square mile in a 9-square-mile region near the infestation site every week — and it could take six months, if not longer, to fully eradicate the current population.
