Mosquito Spraying

This is basic information from one of our members for those interested in opting out of mosquito spraying.  It is our understanding that ground spraying in residential neighborhoods only occurs when requested.  Likewise, you can request that your property be excluded from pesticide application by being placed on a "no spray" list, which some do to protect honeybees and other pollinators.  The link for anyone wanting more information is http://www.norfolkcountymosquito.org/ULV_Exclusion.html
