Pesticide Truck anyone ever experience this?

Question

I grew up in a neighborhood in Georgia where this truck would come around once a month during the Spring and Summer and spray a pesticide in the air. Anyone out there ever experience this?

Answer 1

In Massachusetts, in the 1960's, trucks fumegated neighborhoods, in the summer. Suggested reading "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson.

Answer 2

Southern Ontario had opted to go for a larvicide instead of an aerosol. The total toxin load is a small fraction.

They are using the larvicide only when specific mosquito species are depositing their eggs in stagnant water. (specific meaning they have west nile. We do not have Malaria here.

Answer 3

Yea, a friend living in N.C. lost hundreds of bee hives by an areal spraying of pesticide.   The guy was way out of where he was supposed to be spraying, but no one cared; it was just a bunch of bugs that died.

Answer 6

Yeah. Here in Florida, sometimes they came more often. Like every night for a week in the Summer and Spring they would come and spray or every other night.

Also, when I'd visit my Grandma in Manitoba, Canada, they'd come around a lot in the summer.
