Re: [cg] mosquito spraying and community gardens
A LOT of people are fighting such fights; and the saddest part of it all is that its just PR poison. The way to prevent mosquitoes is to do just that--prevent them. Those spray trucks are just to try and calm down people complaining about being bit. Studies estimate that less than 1/10 of 1% of the spray ever meets a mosquito. ---McG - Original Message - From: "Ken Hargesheimer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 5:41 PM Subject: Re: [cg] mosquito spraying and community gardens Howard Garrett, www.dirtdoctor.com has a running battle with the city of Dallas on this.
