Everyone hold your breath till the first frostJust saw on the news, starting today Suffolk County will begin mosquito spraying via helicopter.![]()
Ooops ….looks like the pup got you too.
Looks like me
They are doing the same by me. I had two bee hives on the property. They spray within 150’ of my backyard. The population of my hives continued to drop until they could not store enough honey to make it through the winter. I have clover in my yard and it’s rare to see a honey bee on a clover flower anymore. Growing up, the clover was loaded with honey bees. According to Suffolk County Vector Control, their spray should not kill bees. What they can’t answer is whether or not it will weaken them until they can’t produce enough honey and eventually die off.Oh GOD. as if there aint enuf chemicals on / in our land., Jesus Christ...

They sprayed a lot several years ago when West Nile was rampent. They sprayed near the marshlands aound the LIS. It had the unintended effect of killing off the lobster population as they share similar metabolisms as insects. Took years to rebound.sad to hear, just to prevent 3 peeps from gettting West Nile Viris…
what comes to my mind are 2 things, long island women have a higher rate of Breast Cancer and two, spraying the marshes kills mosquitoes which a lot of fish feed on…
perhaps Childhood deformities too… cell…

I've got to believe airel spraying is next to useless, dangerous, expensive & unnecessary. I've put up bathouses. Much safer & they work well at reducing mosquitoes populations. I've managed to convience Onancock Town managment to go that route.
