Don't know what to believe
We moved into Fernandina two months ago, and there's been an endless barrage of salesmen at our door, trying to sell us pest control. Previously I've lived in both southern California and Ohio and only sprayed when a problem began. Unfortunately, it's been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get objective information about the subject of preventive pest control in Florida. The people providing it are either the same people selling the service, or they're Villages residents just like me, who moved here from someplace else, and are just doing what someone told them to do, not admitting that they don't really have a clue. Finally, when I contacted the county extension service, they said most Floridians overuse pesticides. They do not recommend indiscriminate preventive spraying. It seems to me that too many Villagers just jump in line with the pied piper without thinking for themselves.
