Mosquitos control, call the Sumter County office and ask about notification.

There was no advance notice about this spraying taking place.
Would like to know what we are being exposed to.
It seemed to being done through out Fernandina, and mostly likely other Villages also.
Anyone know what this is???
Did you just move here? It's a repellent to make you infertile to keep people from reproducing

Another deep dark secret revealed about our TV Land Bubble. And I bet that the worker spoke Spanish and was illegal AND did not have on a Federally approved breather-mask. So, probably about 3 things bad about that. And it did NOT help your lungs. But, that IS NOT important. What is important IS to make the residents and MORE importantly the WOULD-BE residents THINK that the mosquitoes do not exist here so that MORE PROPERTY can be SOLD. There IS a lot of facades and smoke and mirrors going on in ticky-tacky-VILLE
........And they are ALL made out of ticket-tacky and they all make you insane.

Sumter county does the spraying.
They also provide on their site data, indicating the spray is not harmful to bees, quoting many sources. Maybe facts would do more good…….than scare tactics.

B.S. Check out my bottlebrush plants, and my palms when the seed pods open up. There are literally hundreds/thousands of bees that feed on them. Multiply this by all of the yards just in TV

We've seen it for years, at least for 15, maybe more. Usually comes through our village in the "wee" morning" hours when only a few insomniacs, or someone up using the "restroom" or getting a drink of water, would notice the sound of a SLOW moving truck down their street.

Has anyone had success in having the answers on the Sumter gov website Q&A come up when "clicking" a question ? I tried to click on "Why is the mosquito control spray schedule no longer available on the Sumter website ? The "answer" did not "pop up" on my computer screen ?

The chemicals used are of course "harmless", same assurance as given those in Ohio from the local government, so all is well. No worries.

Well, the official local government word is it is NOT, so, end of conversation.

Tip to buster: the Avon product Skin So Soft really DOES work to repel "no see ums", used it successfully for years in south Florida, especially on golf courses where they often "swarmed" in nearly invisible clusters !

Few have what it takes to speak the truth. Usually, if the official word from "the government" in ANY community, not germane to the V's, then that IS the final word. If the government (that's us folks) says it, you can take that to the bank as the old saying goes. I AM SCIENCE, so that ends the discussion. NO politics involved of course. What did Orwell say ? Someone on this site uses his famous quote: NO ONE IS HATED MORE than he (unafraid) to speak the truth. Obviously a serious reason to remove his books from mandatory school reading lists !

"Concerns you that much" seems to be (maybe not) an emotionally laden language pattern, but, that's not important. Why even list it (like counter indications on a prescription) on a web site, why even offer any explanation ? Yes, the email you provided is EXACTLY the one I used, but thank you for the tip.

Very humourful, I wish that I thought of that. I must have inhaled some of that stuff. I would have trouble reproducing now............maybe on a Xerox machine!
