Per a link from that website:

“Aerial treatments will be made using Trumpet, an organophosphate insecticide registered for mosquito control by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California EPA and traditionally used to treat agricultural areas.”

Aside from the obvious joke of “anything approved by the CA EPA has to suck”, Trumpet 1) is a nerve agent that can affect humans, 2)is one of those hoooorrrrrrrible organophosphates that the envirowackos complain about all the time and 3) doesn’t actually work that well.

You guys won’t spray with the actual effective stuff. If you had tried, the Sierra Club etc would have sued and gotten an injunction.
