Santa Cruz & Monterey County residential
areas are going to be aerial sprayed with a
biochemical as often as every 30 days
starting August ? , 2008!

San Francisco, Oakland, Marin, Albany, and
more residential areas are going to be
aerial sprayed with a biochemical as
often as every 30 days starting
August 17, 2008!

The only concrete beneficiary of this plan appears to be the provider of the pesticide.
Spraying over urban areas appears unwarranted.
Some experts claim the moth has been here for years, even decades.
It's unclear that anyone can point to actual damage done by the moth.
This may be in response to pressure from potential importers of California fruits to "control" this "pest".
