According to two UC scientists, not only can the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) not be 'eradicated' by the forced aerial pesticide spraying of the San Francisco Bay Area planned for this summer by a state agency, but it poses no real threat to agriculture in the first place.
UC Davis Entomologist Dr. James Carey and UC Santa Cruz Arboretum Executive Director Dr. Daniel Harder present the results of their research at the March 13, 2008 informational hearing held in San Rafael by State Senator Joe Simitian, Chair of the Senate Environmental Quality Committee.
Dr. Harder's report on his recent trip to New Zealand, where the LBAM is "...effectively controlled almost exclusively by natural predators in both agricultural settings and wild lands," is available on-line at:

Over 700 square miles of highly populated areas of the California Central Coast will be sprayed with a new untested pesticide by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). The spray will be released from airplanes in the dark of night at 300 to 700 feet above homes and schools. They will spray residents every 30 to 90 days for years to come.
Residents are not allowed to know all the ingredients of the aerial spray because it would supposedly violate trade secret laws.
Aerial spraying is planned to start June 1, 2008 in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties and on August 1, 2008 for San Francisco Bay Area communities.

Air Force Major Tim Wilcox, an AWACs crew member, and currently a graduate student in National Security Policy Studies at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, reports how his 11-month-old son Jack responded to the allegedly 'safe' anti-LBAM aerial spraying - trips to the hospital that were '...like a scene from ER...just trying to get him to breathe...!" Parents of healthy infants in the projected target urban spray areas for this summer - Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Francisco Bay - please take note.
