Mosquito spraying.... (Charleston, Mount Pleasant: how much, live, rated)

[sundrop]

They are about to begin a month long effort to kill the dang things. To bad it doesn't rid us of no-seeums too.

They're going to spray here too. I really hope it doesn't kill the bees. And I really hope I'm not outside when the truck goes by.

I have been reading that several of the area beekeepers have called to register their property and have it placed in a "no spray" zone.

I really wish they would do this spraying strictly in the evening hours. Less people out and about to be affected by this.

Integrated pest management would be much better for the environment and people, but I suppose it would be quite time consuming. Impending Zika spread is quite the concern these days.

They need to bring back DDT and stop fiddling around.

Nuke 'em from orbit! It's the only way to be sure. Might take care of the palmetto bugs, too.

How much does spraying help? I still get bit to death.

We sit outside at night all summer long and have no problems at all with mosquitoes, so I would say the spraying helps a lot.
