"The state agriculture department plans to use airplanes at night this summer to spray a farm 
pesticide over urban San Francisco, Marin County and the East Bay, intending to eradicate a 
potentially destructive moth"

Mating disrupters target the pheromones of a specific pest. Can't help but wonder if there is a risk 
to pollinators. 

As a commercial apple grower I know that typically these materials are used in organic operations 
as a replacement for insecticides and used well after bloom. 

This kind of large spray program may be unprecedented for an urban area. I wonder if anyone 
ever looked at any impacts to pollinators?  How can they be sure that only the target pests 
pheromones are affected?
