Perhaps you should go somewhere where they don't have Mosquito control! Although, most likely it would be in another country. Then perhaps you'ld know what it was like.

Perhaps you should go where they have mosquito control that use safer products that work to eliminate or control mosquito and not the human population.

The group that I have been working with are extremely educated and knowledgable on the subject and if you will attend the meeting you may become educated on our mission.

First of all, we are not trying to eliminate mosquito control. We understand there is a problem with insects and that different people have different reactions when biten. However, we also understand that the use of Chemicals such as Dibrom Naled and Perithrin (both of which are organophosphates) that cause unreversable damage to the nervous system and are cancer causing agents is not the proper answer.

Other areas of this country have proper methods of controling insects in place and that is what our focus will be about. We will provide material, research and alternative ideas at the meeting.

We invite all to attend

I have been to "third world Countries" that have pest management agencies in place. The main difference is that theirs are not backed by huge corporations such as Monsanto and a Medical industry that thrives off of the daily outbreak of Cancer.

Our pest management is out dated. There are products, methods and systems in place that are more effective than what we currently use in our County that also are safe for humans and household animals.

I recently spoke with a veternarian who traveled to the Tampa area after the West Nile cases were reported this past summer. This vet was there because an alarming number of domesticated animals, mainly dogs went into Kidney failure and died. There is research being conducted on the amounts of organophosphates that were in the animals systems. The Tampa area sprayed almost daily after the one case of West nile was reported.

Now wouldn't it be wise to use products that did not kill our pets instantly, our children slowly and ourselves over a period of years. Lets wisen up and listen to the other methods of proper pesticide management.

I hopw I'm wrong, but I have a suspicion that most people living here would rather be sprayed daily with poison than be bitten by bugs. If the government tells them it's safe then they are going to believe it.

And many people vacationing here don't care what's being sprayed if they're only here for a short time, truly. They would be like - "go a head and bomb the place as long as there are no flies on the beach during my week."

Dear Friends:

At times in life we need to put prejudices aside, step out of the box and question. It seems to me that all too often we fail to question. If they get us asking the wrong questions, then we never get the answers we need.

Considering the downsides of something so prevalent in the environment is a sensible and logical thing to do. Education and awareness can bring about logical and effective change. I'm looking forward to the pesticide talk and hope that people come with an open mind.

I've been to many countries that most people here would not consider liveable. The mosquito control here is a waste of money. I agree with you about containers in people's yards. Skeeters are much worse in most neighborhoods than in the swamps. Especially low income neighborhoods with yards full of junk.

yeah, yeah, always blaming us rednecks with junk in our yard and oh my goodness look at all that standing water in them fish ponds!

we must be low income cause we got skeeters in the z

oy!

My wife and I were eating dinner the other night at Onano's in Rosemary beach (sitting on the porch) when the Mosquito Truck came by. We could not believe this. We got sprayed, our food got sprayed, all the other patrons got sprayed.

This is absurd. It certainly ruined a fine meal, a great night, and my attitude about Rosemary.

Is there anything being done, I mean really being done to stop this madness? We can not think that spraying people with poison is a correct position to take.

If the poison truck didn't spray, I would have an organic vegetable garden. Unfortunately, the only way one can have an organic garden in SoWal is for it to be indoors.
