Coming back from Lopez last Friday, we took a shortcut thru a neighborhood and there was a truck with a fogger on the back of it spraying. There is also a type of fish that is stocked in the ponds that feed on the mosquito larvae. I was told by an ambassador that about $1 million is spent every year on the mosquito eradication.
