I asked why the county isn't doing arial spraying. He just said they don't own a plane, which seemed a nonsensical response as I'm sure few do and instead contract the service out. At dusk they can be miserable!
I can imagine the response to the first plane to begin spraying. You think dog poop gets a lot of attention.
