I don't like dibrom either ,but like florida girl say's until you come up with a better solution i would rather stay inside until the spray breaks down. you seem to like to research thing ,well why don't you research how many thousands of floridians were killed!!! over the last 100 yrs by Mosquitoe borne diseases [COLOR="Yellow[COLOR="Red"]"](I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DOG FLIES, NOT MOSQUITOES. DO DOG FLIES SPREAD DISEASE). [/COLOR][/COLOR]do you not think it can't happen in this modern society, just look at places like Africa who still have thousands of deaths a yr. Also chk with some of the oldtimers from just the 70's and 80's and ask them if you could get anywhere near the beach for 3 months(dogfly season). read some of the old Indian tales of how they would coat themselves with just about anything so they could fish. most hotels and condo's dont remeber how bad it was because all the mom and pop motels are gone replaced with new polluting,water using,scenery stealing condo's,who have not yet seen the total wrath the dogfly can be on their bottom line, sure id like to see a better chemical [COLOR="yellow[COLOR="red"]"](YOU ARE OF COURSE IMPLYING THAT DIBROM IS A BAD CHEMICAL) [/COLOR][/COLOR]and of course i dont want my job to end, but i support the spraying also because im an avid outdoors man and im more scared of the food i eat and the crazy people [COLOR="yellow[COLOR="red"]"](I ALSO DON'T LIKE THE STUFF THAT GOES IN MUCH OF OUR FOOD. I RECOMMEND GOING AS ORGANIC AS YOU CAN. ALSO, STAY AWAY FROM THOSE CRAZY PEOPLE).[/COLOR] [/COLOR]than i am of being sprayed by such a miniscule amount of pesticide [COLOR="yellow[COLOR="red"]"](SO YOU ARE SCARED BY BEING SPRAYED BY A MINISCULE AMOUNT OF DIBROM, JUST NOT AS SCARED AS YOU ARE OF THE FOOD YOU EAT AND THE CRAZY PEOPLE???)[/COLOR] [/COLOR] which is by the way is so much smaller than even the amounts that they used in those rat studies you posted. I also keep reading the statment that we dont get notified when they spray. We the Dogfly program notify every county mosquitoe program when we are about to start our season and send out letters asking for permission to do so, saying that we will be spraying fom now usally sept 01 to nov 30 when everdogfly counts warrent it. which is determined by spotters( mosquitoe district employee's)going to preselected erea's and doing landing rate counts every Day!!! so the district's know every day at least 2 hours before we spray and it's up to them to notify the public in their counties and you can be put on a list to be notified of when they are going to spray near you [COLOR="yellow[COLOR="red"]"](HOW WILL I BE NOTIFIED--BY PHONE, EMAIL, ETC??? SO, IF I AM OUT ON THE BEACH WITHOUT ACCESS TO MY PHONE, EMAIL, ETC HOW IS IT I CAN ESCAPE BEING SPRAYED BY THE DOG FLY PLANE[/COLOR])[/COLOR] , so you DO!!! have a choice of being sprayed or not (NO I DON'T. SEE PREVIOUS POINT. IN ADDITION, DIBROM DOES NOT BREAKDOWN THE MINUTE IT HITS THE AIR OR THE WATER OR A SOLID OBJECT. SO BY STAYING INSIDE DURING THE FLYOVER, I AM NOT AVOIDING THE RESIDUE ON MY PORCH FURNITURE, MY GRASS, THE STREET, THE BEACH, THE BEACH CHAIRS, MY CAR, ETC ETC. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THE SPRAY IS TO AVOID THE ENTIRE AREA FROM SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER). No no one know's yet the long term effects of dibrom [COLOR="yellow[COLOR="red"]"](EXACTLY, VERY GOOD POINT[/COLOR])[/COLOR] or sweet n low [COLOR="yellow[COLOR="red"]"](YES, BUT I CAN AVOID SWEET AND LOW 100% OF THE TIME, BUT I CANNOT AVOID THE EFFECTS OF SPRAYING)[/COLOR] [/COLOR]or thousand other so called healthy products on the market are. How many people and cities are poisoned by vehicles yet i bet every one on this board has at least one if not two or more of these must have Killers!!!!!. Oh and anyone of you that can come up with a REAL Proven non toxic dogfly spray for the human is crazy if you don't patent it you would be a millionaire,but ive see just about every concoction you could put together including 100% deet and none of them work very well unless you use something that you wont have dogfly's or human's anywhere within 2 mile's of you but maybe a turkey buzzard or two (LOL). Have agreat day Yall The dang dogflyguy
