Maybeso . . . BUT the Japanese have never been particularly
environmentally conscious (not that the USA is any more, either),
and have one of the worst chemical poisoning  histories in the
world.

The fact remains that you should NOT spray unless the trees need
it -- i.e. the bug is present in sufficient numbers that it can't
be controlled any other way.  That's basic pesticide use
procedures.
