Maybe someone can speak to the effectiveness of such efforts. Let me explain…
Ok, so my town (A) is surrounded by 4 other towns which do not spray. So, town (A) sprays for one night. There are no mosquito fences or anything keeping the mosquitoes from town (B) from flying over, right? In fact, I’m only .25 miles from town (B). So, I get drenched with ubertoxic insecticides on Tuesday, and should be looking at the same number of mosquitoes by Thursday.
Call me cynical, but this smacks of one of those perfect situations where:
– the public is in a panic
– the public is willing to do anything over nothing
– the solution is ineffective
Am I wrong? Wouldn’t we have to get nightly doses of this mist – and wouldn’t it have to be more than just my little town?
