While I did the yard work, I had to blow the leaves. Of course I used the electric blower in and around the green-colored trap, which was hanging on our chain link fence. It has been a while since someone removed this object. Lo and behold, we received a notice (Form 60-216 4/94). Here are the contents of a half-page print-out signed and dated 10/13.
State of California
DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION…
The California Department of Food and Agriculture appreciates that you have allowed us to maintain an insect detection trap on your property. These traps are very important in letting us know, at the earliest possible date, when one of the destructive, exotic insect pests (such as Medfly or gypsy moth) begins to establish itself in California. Your cooperation is very important to the success of this program.
The trap has now been removed from your yard and will be moved to another area.
Thanks again for your cooperation.
INSPECTOR [J. McV#####]
