I didn't read anywhere concerning dosage amounts specified for the results given, nor results for what the plane is actually doing, in the amount and dissipation rate, or evidence of harm as a result of the spraying. Nor did I read an alternative given to resolve the problem, instead of ignoring it. To say the problem isn't there, is not feasible.
I don't see either that you have actually experienced being bitten 1000 times!??
I just don't see the problem with the flies. They are bothersome, but not harmful and they go away after a month or two.
You see the flies, which are not toxic or lethal in any way, as a problem and the chemical spraying as a mere nuisance. I see the non-lethal, non-toxic flies as a nuisance and the toxic chemicals as harmful to the environment, to other animals/insects and to man.
I assume you can google Dibrom or Naled and read any of the thousands of scientific studies stating that Dibrom is toxic. Dogflyguy understands how toxic this stuff is--it only takes a tiny amount per acre to kill lots and lots of insects including dog flies. Even the manufacturer says it is a toxic chemical and provides a long list of precautions when handling/using this substance because it is so toxic.
Many community governments that spray Dibrom actually warn people of potential side effects from being outdoors when spraying occurs. These communities tell their citizens that it is best to stay in doors when spraying is being done. Why? Because this stuff is toxic.
There are major precautions about Dibrom killing bees which are suffering plummeting populations from an unknown cause--all we need is Dibrom adding to the problem.
No studies have been done on the long term effects of Dibrom 10, 20 or 30 years down the road. However, the organophosphate pesticides are all toxic. That's why they use them to KILL bugs. Many of these pesticides have been pulled from the market AFTER they were in use for long periods of time because people and/or animals EVENTUALLY began showing signs of problems. So, they develop new organophosphates to replace the old ones. Regardless, they are all simply toxins meant to kill living organisms. Aren't humans living organisms?
I for one don't want to be a guinea pig under a mass spraying program to find out just what this stuff will do to the body 10 or 30 years down the road.
If you don't mind nasty chemicals, just slather yourself with OFF and the flies won't bother you. You will be taking the risk of long term damage to your body without risking others lives. However, the widespread spraying of pesticides puts everyone at risk, not just you. I don't want to be forced to be exposed to Dibrom or any other chemicals sprayed on the community at large.
