Its a shame just a few blocks to the West of my location the City of Richardson is doing their anti mosquito spraying using about 8 different types of insecticide. They just don't care. This happens every year...
I think this year they are doing it just to keep their contractor's happy.
They claim that the chemicals they use are environmentally safe.It's a joke - there are warnings on virtually all of the chemicals they use about having to be careful not to spray plants because it can kill the bees! Of course the chemicals are manufactured by BAYER.
Sorry, just get upset about it.
I had to get a form signed by about 5 people at the City several years so they would not spray at my address. I don't know if they are still honoring that. I know the same thing happens in Canada.
