we get the mosquito control service in our neighborhood. Does anyone know if it is harmful to pets if they are outside?

Couple of years ago when they started spraying here, they would send out a notice to close your windows and stay inside, bring critters in too. They said not to walk where they were spraying for at least 15 minutes. I remember if you were on the road, the trucks would stop spraying as they passed you.

Not anymore. They just drive down the road, no notice, spraying everything in sight. I can't believe inhaling that stuff can do you any good. And it really doesn't do any good anyway. It only gets a few feet back from the road, and doesn't reach where it needs to get.

Yeah, I don't notice any difference either and I live on a very small dead end street and the truck actually comes down our road to the dead end and has to turn around and come back up, therefore I think we get double sprayed and I can't tell any different. Yet I still send in my 15 bucks every year

My son was getting ready for school one morning and sprayed his Axe Deodorant in our hallway by the bedrooms where I have a Gas/Carbon Monoxide detector plugged into an outlet, the darn thing went off like crazy saying "GAS, GAS, GAS!!!!!" I refuse to let him use the spray stuff anymore......what is that doing to his body?!:patriot:
