Come on Grist....Fact Checking!....Journalism 101. Just becasue the sensationalsit media uses the wrong term in order to create fear and sell papers, don;t you play along. What they're spraying from our skies is a pheromone (sp). It's a synthetic odor intended to confuse male moths so they don't make it to (with?) the females. It's a "pesticide" only in the sense that that's the category EPA put it in, it's not a pesicide like a poison. It's more like a perfume.
