Sagebrush Pesticide Links

As promised by Bucky: Meeting the Challenge of West Nile Virus Without Poisons from Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides (NCAP). We recommend our Treasure Valley listeners consider joining NCAP-Idaho's listserve for discussion on the decision to aerially spray mosquitoes, explore alternative solutions and avoid future aerial spraying. Send an email to jmiller@pesticide.org if you would like to be added to the listserve. Idaho is late to the spraying for West Nile business. Perhaps we should learn from the past mistakes of others. A good read along those lines is Overkill: Why Pesticide Spraying for West Nile Virus in California May Cause More Harm Than Good from Pesticide Watch.
