For the lazy, it's:

CheckMate-F, a close predecessor to Checkmate OLF-F, which has been sprayed over Monterey and Santa Cruz counties.

... The CDFA has been given permission and funding through Homeland Security to spray the pesticide on private property without consent by owners.

The USDA and CDFA are promoting Checkmate as a harmless pheromone. But not only is it a synthetic pheromone, it includes a long list of "inert" ingredients that are toxic to humans and animals. The pesticide is enclosed in time-released plastic microcapsules, small enough to be inhaled and become lodged in the lungs.
