EarthCare's original name was "C.O.M.A." which stood for Citizens Opposed to Malathion Applications.
C.O.M.A. was successful in stopping the use of Malathion (a pesticide to control mosquitoes)in Kelowna. C.O.M.A. was also successful in encouraging the Regional District to use a biological larvicide, "BTI". This biological control program has been extremely effective in controlling mosquito populations.
