You're certainly entitled to your opinion jp, but caring about the environment is in "my opinion" not wacko.
I seem to recall that some years ago an old DC-3/C-47 used to fly over the Seagrove area very low spraying something. Frankly, I'd welcome aerial spraying. But I'm not one of those 'save the planet wackos either'. I'd also like to have a 50# bag of Heptachlor to kill ants with.
Those planes were State planes that were spraying for "dog flys". Was not a program of the SWCMCD. The program was discontinued by the state. Dog Flys hurt when they bite, but they do not carry disease.
We assumed it was a Bay County thing to poison people at an outdoor event.
We can usually hear the mosquito truck when it is in the neighborhood, and shut the street side windows of the house.
Beach Mosquito does aerial spraying. They must notify the public when they spray. They have a local TV station that makes "public notice" very easy.
Good point, Jdarg. We lived in Gainesville for three years while in grad school. We hated when those trucks showed up. We felt violated.I doubt the hundreds if tourists out there with us were tuning into a TV station to listen for aerial spray warnings.

I do like my oak trees, but the mosquitos that hang around the swamp I call my back yard will carry you off. We have so many citronella candles around the front door that we look like the Addams Family.
Bring it on. Just let me know so my family and I are not outside.
