I just want to put out there, the something that happened about 20 years ago when we had a issue with west Nile, and instead of letting each individual property manage it on their own, the city decided to do night time spraying, and promised no birds, insects or other wild life would be affected. Here we are 20years later, the birds are finally flourishing again, there aren't dead crow's in the streets, and unfortunately because the spraying was done at night I still haven't seen a bat ,because there population is non existent
ReplyDeleteI miss the bats! I haven’t seen any in ages. Instead of spraying, maybe release more bats, which eat the mosquitos that carry West Nile virus.
