Government agencies are continuing their efforts to eradicate the light brown apple moth in California, according to media reports.

A story in today's Salinas Californian says three airplanes will spray moth pheromones for up to three nights over northern, coastal Monterey County in an effort to stop male light brown apple moths from finding mates

The Vallejo Times Herald reported yesterday that USDA has announced that it will provide $15 million to help fund the fight to rid the state of the pest.

In the meantime, the Central Valley Business News used a press release in it's Aug. 14 edition by Stephanie Klunk of the UC IPM program with "all you ever wanted to know about light brown apple moth." The story refers readers to a new brochure produced by the IPM program, "Light Brown Apple Moth in California: Quarantine, Management, and Potential Impacts," which is available free online.
