mosquitos. What is that chemical? Can we buy it from any store? Some
parks in the city have absolutely no mosquitos. I think they treated
the grass and tress with some magical stuff too.
There are products they use in Maryland, especially on Chincoteague,
right in the campground where we were sleeping, that they insist are
very safe, safer than older products, and
afaik, they are.
Why not call the city and ask what they use? They'll almost surely
tell you, because they're spraying your neigbhborhood. If somehow
not, look at the trucks to get the department name, or ask the driver
where he parks, and go down there and ask around until you find out.
Maybe you'll see the drums and you can write down what is in them.
The driver might know what he uses also.
