Will I be charged for the trapping on my property?

Good news! We do not charge for this service. Trapping benefits our agricultural community and all residents with fruit trees and gardens that contain hosts of exotic fruit flies and other pests. Thank you for allowing us the use of your trees/turf/gardens to assist in the early detection of new pests.
