LIGHT BROWN APPLE MOTH LBAM FACTS
State and Federal Officials overreact to LBAM and has initiated a massive multi-county pesticide spray with low flying planes.
You will be sprayed with a pesticide over your homes for 6 nights 11/4-11/9 several times a year until 2010.
The LBAM has a fly radius of 1.5 miles and yet the 6-day spray-a-thon will be over residential areas.
CheckMate OLR-F is a biochemical that will linger in the air for over 30 days.
LBAM has caused virtually no crop damage in the Monterey Bay area. The damage incurred to growers is from restrictions and quarantines put in by State and Federal agencies.
CheckMate OLR-F is a pesticide by the EPA’s own definition. http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/about/index.htm
CheckMate OLR-F Warning Label states “Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes
moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin eyes or clothing. Harmful if
inhaled. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist.”
CheckMate OLR-F has only been tested on rats and mice for short-term reactions. No long-term studies have been conducted involving humans or animals. We are to be the guinea pigs.
After a 3-day LBAM spray over Monterey area an 11-month-old baby was admitted to Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula for severe respiratory problems.
Steve Hartmeier of Suterra llc, makers of CheckMate OLR-F, refuses to disclose all of the agents in the pesticide they will be spraying you with.

Sentinel staff report
September 25, 2007
In early November in the middle of the night, three state-owned airplanes will spray a synthetic pheromone in the air for five straight days in Santa Cruz County, the latest attempt to eradicate the light brown apple moth.
It’s a technique that was heavily criticized by environmental groups and concerned citizens in Monterey County when carried out a few weeks ago. And the same spray, technically called Check Mate LBAM-F, is now headed for places like Live Oak and Soquel — long considered the heaviest populated area in the state, with more than 6,000 of the moths found.
Tuesday, the California Department of Food and Agriculture announced its intentions, emphasizing that a series of public hearings would be held in the targeted areas, which also include Salinas, Prunedale and Las Lomas.
“We’re talking about a synthetic pheromone that’s odorless and has been used for over a decade in Australia with no reports of adverse health or environmental effects,” said Steve Lyle, a spokesman with the California Department of Food and Agriculture in Sacramento.
Spraying has been set for Nov. 4-8 between the hours of 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.
