[quote=Anonymous]Mosquito spraying is under the Maryland Department of Agriculture.  There are at least two forms you can fill out to opt out of mosquito spraying.  There is a participation form where you can deny the right to spray.  Then there is a Request for Exemption From Adult Mosquito Control Serices.  The spraying of mosquitoes is very innefective from what I've read.  It will only work on adult mosquitoes who just happen to be flying in that particular air at the exact moment of spray.  What it does effectively do, however, is coat everything with deadly pesticides that cause cancer and birth defects.  It kills birds and bats, who eat a vast quanity of bugs every day, so it makes no sense.  Why do we think dogs get so much cancer?  A lot of it is from the food we give them, and a lot of it is from yard chemicals, pesticdes, etc.  The "Objection to Adult Mosquito Control" states that there must be a 300-foot buffer on all sides of the property excluded.   I had a tons of honey bees at start of summer, but when the mosquito spraying started, I now have none.  They are not supposed to spray in the rain, and there are lots of other guidelines they are not following.  A good movie to see on netflix is "The Vanishing Of The Bees" and they are disappearing directly due to pesticides but huges chemical companies like Monsant would have you think otherwise.  Another thing we can do is always buy organic, it's all intertwined now.  Good luck to you and thank you for caring, unlike the other person.  [/quote]
