Just 1 small correction: the Light Brown Apple moth is not
"known to destroy or damage more than 250 species of plants." The plant lists that the California Department of Food and Agriculture has published are speculative, including many species on which the moth has never fed or been observed. In almost all cases, if the moth does do damage, the damage is cosmetic at most. In addition, it is important to realize that, though the moth was identified in Berkeley in 2007 by a retired entomologist, it has likely been in the state much longer, based on the range over which it has spread.
In response to the prior comment, the pesticide to be sprayed is not just a pheromone. It contains 8 other ingredients, including carcinogens and substances associated with cancer and birth defects, and is sprayed in a microscopic plastic capsules that poses serious inhalation risks.
