They state that California based their evaluation on old data and NZ used insect growth regulators in place of the pheromone, which the NZ experts say will not work in Northern California...only in agricultural settings.

	Send letters	Action instructions for Marin and the East Bay. Names and addresses of who to write to. Always be nice but be firm. We do not need nor do we want CheckMate or any of the family of pheromone products sprayed over out urban communities. It is untested, no EIR has been done and the experts in New Zealand predict that it will not work. So why expose people and spend all that money?

	USDA Treatment Program for Light Brown Apple Moth in California	Look at this 103 page document, with comments due on March 18, 2008, and wonder who could honestly create such a report. The listing of 2,000 plants that LBAM is supposed to feed on is verging on the ridiculous. It equates to seeing a Blue Jay sitting on a bush so that bush is listed as something the Jay feeds on and then you list all the other bushes in that plant's genre...never mind that LBAM is a leaf roller. In this document we are lead to believe it feeds on pines and broom.
