The USDA is attempting to have the lawsuit to stop the Checkmate spraying in Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties dismissed.
Checkmate is a pheremone based spray designed to disrupt the mating of the light brown apple moth in an attempt to control the population of the LBAM. Checkmate also contains 3% inert ingredients other than water, some of which may cause various forms of irritation or health problems in humans. Checkmate has not been tested for effectiveness against the LBAM or for safety in humans. The CA Dept of Food and Agriculture has declared a poorly pubicized "emergency", attempting to justify circumventing California and Federal environmental laws to promote their spraying program.
If you care about your health and the health of your neighbors, please show up for this event. The number of people who show up will be recorded in the court records and possibly influence the case.
