That was my thought as well. I could see something being sprayed from the plane. What happened to the truck that would pass around town spraying?

I think tonight was their last night down there, but maybe they will still be spraying tomorrow. Give me the Lat/Long coordinates of your house and I will pass to him and see if they can do it.

This. They aren't just spraying. Their nuking them, as well as damn near every other insect. A lot of people I've talked to don't like it. Normally, they have the spray trucks that drive through certain areas.

After hurricanes they do — they were so bad after Lili, Rita and these — could eat you alive.

He just came low and quick right over my place. That was freaking awesome. As soon as you hear him he is gone! Tell him I said I need one more pass here to make sure skeeters are gone.

Same here. Got up from my nightly Fox News kumbaya programming here in south Lafayette to go to the kitchen and rinse out a wine glass and thought a plane was going to crash through my house, and then it was gone as quick as it came.

I invite them to come work outside with me around dusk, they'll celebrate the death of every living thing on Earth if it means the mosquitoes die with them.

I predict the insect kingdom will survive these atrocities.

Damn! I see little spray trucks around the hood occasionally but C-130’s to kill Skeets in Laffy?!? Wow


it is not just Laffy, It's multiple entire parishes. I live west of Sunset in the country and had them fly directly over my house 3 times. once at noon, then about 515 and again at 530.

They couldn’t wait two days for the mosquitoes to die from chilly weather?

Spraying for mosquitoes. The Karen’s on Facebook completely lost their mind over it. Like. Bad.


We definitely live in the same neighborhood. Someone needs to get that woman a hobby.
