Hi Anna,

I wonder if you could do an investigative report on the subject listed above. This is a great concern in California.
There are plans to start nightly aerial and ground sprays with a harmful, carcinogenic, and partially undisclosed chemicals, in San Francisco and urban Bay Area(except the richest areas like Atherton, Woodside, etc) on August 17, to kill a moth which didn't produce any crop damage so far, and continue over a 5+ year period until the moth is totally eradicated.
This is foolish, it will not eradicate the moth like DDT, now band, didn't eradicated the mosquito, is wasteful, and irresponsible, more than 600 cases were documented by Mike Lymber, a resident in Monterey when the spray took place the summer of last year.
I am seriously thinking moving out of the country since this toxic chemical, Checkmate, is especially dangerous for kids.
The owner of the Suterra, the company that created Checkmate, has connections with Blackwater, CIA, big donnor of the GOvernor of CA and Universities.

Stothespray.org as well as CASS.org are good sources of information.

Thank you so much,

Esther San Miguel
