For those too lazy to do a bit research in between postings please pay attention here.
The California state agency, Office of Environmental Health Hazards Assessment, recorded and investigated 643 complaints of symptoms attributed to the Checkmate pheromone use. Over 90% of the complaints had no medical documentation. Since only about 3 oz. were used per acre it was thought possible that symptoms of burning eyes and mild breathing difficulties MIGHT occur but since at any point in time 150-250/1000 Californians will display such symptoms NO connection could be drawn between such nonspecific symptoms and Checkmate spraying.
Better to put out some perfume for the moths than spray more stuff on the fruit, etc.
Do a little research before burying everyone in useless chatter and nut case web sites.

This photo from an anti-pesticide protest speaks volumes about these peoples' sanity.
