This is incredibly sad that we now have to be exposed to fogging what can result in neurotoxicity and jeopardize the health of humans , especially those with compromised immune systems, when we have had seven dead birds, but no humans have been infected, according to this article. Please look up what is being sprayed. THIS IS NOT HARMLESS. It will remain in the air, on your cars, in your gardens even after the fogging.

We had our area sprayed Friday night (Jul 29th) / Sat. morning:
I noticed yesterday bee's in our yard dead or dying .... at least 20 (plus a couple yellow jackets). A tree that we have that is usually filled with bee's , only had a couple flying around.
We were told "The district says the treatment does not pose any significant risk to humans, pets, gardens, wildlife or the environment" If that is the case then why are there dead bees. I could never understand how this spraying could only effect Mosquito's.

Look it up on Wikipedia. The chemical is highly toxic to Bees specifically.
