Check out post #25
The saving money part I made up since I determine it was cheaper to spray based on trap count vs scheduled spraying. This was based on numerous scientific calculations and a good Burbon Old Fashion > Actually I'm not sure about the scientific calculations but after a 2nd Old Fashion, it still seems like it to me. BTW I checked #25 and it doesn't indicate when they started the trap count method.

I have trouble remembering the PB score or who served but I think?? the person I talked to at that number provided in that quote (when I asked them to spray our area) indicated it was a new method and they are also counting on people who have an issue in an area to let them know so they can spray that area. I can't say I'm crazy about spraying but I do think it's better than mosquitos driving people inside at dawn or having them spread whatever disease they spread after biting and sucking blood from their last host.
