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.

AH HA....this is why you didn't respond to my Columbus, Ohio post.

You are originally from California.
