BREAKING NEWS: Four municipalities declare ‘emergency’ resolutions on phorid fly issue

Nearby property owners and residents have suffered for too long with nagging pests invading their homes with almost no resolution available. The mushroom farm operations brought this issue upon the local communities and should bear the responsibility of ensuring the issue is eradicated in Chester County so that it is no longer an environmental and health hazard to the nearby communities.

Four municipalities in southern Chester County — Kennett, Avondale, New Garden and Kennett Square — have declared emergency resolutions to combat the phorid fly crisis. The collective measures cite local public health concerns and the economy as the phorid fly population has increased exponentially since 2012. In December, Kennett Square Borough Mayor Matthew Fetick requested a meeting with Gov. Josh Shapiro to address the crisis with local stakeholders. Shannon Powers, press secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, said the department is leading efforts to combat the insects, supporting research into new control technologies that will help reduce the amount of phorid flies. Prior to 2012, the flies were controlled using a chemical called diazinon, but that is no longer available for mushroom farmers to use. There are approximately 1,800 growing rooms located in Chester County, and local officials are calling for actions to help residents and the mushroom industry combat the problem.
