    I hope this helps. I hate all the chemicals but I need a dust pan to clean up the masquitos out back. Poor pups. They need to extend it a little further east.

    Don't you want to know WHAT they are spraying? They conveniently leave that out, hoping the sheeple will never ask. As they spray our skies with aluminum and arsenic, barium and manganese, this is what they are spraying your streets with:

    "To reduce the potential for chemical resistance in mosquitos, Gilbert’s contractor will alternate fogging between EPA approved Fyfanon ULV and Kontrol 4-4."

    How caring of them to alternate so to better kill the mosquitos.

    Check the OSHA sheets for these substances. They are 100% Malathion.
    Malathion is toxic to humans, and fatal to all bees, birds, ducks, fish and domestic animals.
    So where are they spraying in Gilbert? Freestone park, the Riperian Preserve, etc etc. This is criminal, and they are criminals. Do your homework and stop these idiots. I blocked the spray truck into my culdesac and wouldn't let him out. He called the police on me and they confiscated my Hummer. Desperate to cover something up? You got it.
    It attacks the central nervous system, internal organs, and causes cancer. [wink]

    Malathion is toxic to humans - It attacks the central nervous system, internal organs, and causes cancer.
    It is also VERY toxic to bees (fatal), birds, ducks, fish and domestic animals.

    So where are they spraying in Gilbert? Freestone park, the Riperian Preserve, etc etc. Are you kidding me?

    The original notice said that they would not spray in residential neighborhoods. Well they most definately are.. Listen for the extremely loud truck in the middle of the night and hold your breath. Who is making these decisions?[wink]
