Hi Jackie:
They sure do, and it really looks interesting. It is at
http://www.lomalinda.com/medical.html
They haven't done any spraying for a while, but if those fruit flies
come back we have been told that they will do it again.
I don't think that there has been any study done or anything on the
effects of what they have done so far. But we have all been told not to
worry because the amount of insecticide in the spray is very low. In
about 10 years or so when everyone is dying of ca or something then they
will probably say, "oops, shouldn't have done that." :(
