Give me dog fly and mosquito bites over cancer any day! We already have plenty of chemicals assaulting our body without adding unnecessary ones.
Are we talking about dog flies or mosquitoes here? And could yall update me on what diseases are carried by dog flies?Mosquitoe borne diseases
The big problem of flying at such low altitudes (150ft), is that if there is a pilot error, there is not much time for recovery.Like i said before the plane is a 1943 at least the body,where as the engines are 2001 s with very few hr's on them and the plane is thourally inspected by approved FAA mechanics and inspecters every year. beleive me the state would not let it fly if it wasn't safe. It can fly perfectly good on just one engine if one were to fail. it has proven it's reliability over & over again that's why it's the only plane of it's era that still see's use all over the world as passenger or cargo plane. Yes i do wear safety gear when loading the plane but the chemical actually comes in thirty gallon drums.

I don't recall Dog Flies carrying any diseases. They are simply pests. Mosquitos could become a problem due to the diseases they carry, and it while it may be necessary to control them via poisons after catastrophic events such as floods and hurricanes, I don't see the need to spray poisons on everything (including the foods which we eat), all insects the size of a mosquito or smaller.
I just moved onto a property where I can hear the poison spray truck, but my house and yard are far enough away from the road, that obviously, the spray doesn't reach my yard, or the mosquitos in my yard. Sure, the mosquitos are a pests, and I bet ChrisV can watch me doing the mosquito dance from his back yard. However, I have observed something in my new yard. I have all kinds of wildlife in my new place, and for the first time since I've moved to SoWal, I have birds of many species, living in my yard. In my other homes in SoWal, I very rarely saw a bird. I have a nest of yellow jackets on the property, and I've seen many other "scary" animals (not so scary for me). I'm still waiting for the rattlesnakes to appear. My point is, the only obvious difference I see in my new place and my other homes, is that Mosquito Control cannot reach my new house, because it is so far off the road. The wildlife is thriving and happy. The Mosquito bites don't hurt so bad, though they do itch a little. I do have screens on the windows and porch. ;-) I am not eradicating the cacti or the yellow jacket nest. Instead, I will rope off the area, so that the dogs won't be as likely to get stuck or stung. I'm not dispersing moth balls to keep the snakes away, though I did cut some of the weeds with my slingblade. I enjoy living in harmony with nature. I am beginning to wonder if one of the reason our Bay is so depleted of wildlife is due to the the accumulated effect of poisons being sprayed in our area.
I do. That fear alone is enough to keep me away from them. I'm going to be roping off a large area, bigger than some people's lots in Seacrest. :funn:Careful with that slingblade...
I thought you D yellow jackets!
