[quote=Anonymous]Beyond whether it is safe, there is little evidence that mosquito-spraying works. Florida and Houston have estimated that their spray programs reduce mosquitos by 30%. Other jurisdictions claim higher reductions, but still. No program is anywhere close to 100%. In addition, West Nile Virus is carried by only 1 in 1000 mosquitos in the heaviest outbreaks. Only 1 in 300 people bitten by an infected mosquito will even get sick, much less die. Politicians and residents embark on these massive spray programs without much evidence they are doing much good. Add to this the question of safety...and well, duh.[/quote]
