I did so and was told that PMR was not even on the schedule to be sprayed!! They did put us on the schedule and within a couple of days I heard the trucks come out. I have been able to take my daughter to the park and actually walk to the mailbox without bathing in "OFF". If you live in a fairly new subdivision chances are you are not on any schedule to be sprayed.
Thanks for the information.
I called the county and after getting transferred about 6 times and/or told to call another number, I finally got someone on the phone that seemed to kind of know what they were talking about.
She took down my information and said she would forward it to her supervisor.
She said spraying is done by request and that there is no schedule.

I wonder if it helps if they receive several requests. RV, PM me the number and I will have my neighbors call as well.

I would also like to make a call if that helps the situation any. I took my son out yesterday at 1pm, peak of the heat hoping that mosquitos would be more dorment than the morning and evening hours, but we still got covered in bugs and had to lather up with Off bug spray to make our way back home w/o 30 bites. It's rediculous.
