* Turn off air conditioning and other ventilation that brings in air from outside. Turn your thermostat down a couple of hours before that to keep your house cool during the treatments.
* Bring toys, tools, patio furniture, pets, bikes, and other portable items indoors.
* Cover playground equipment and other large outdoor items.
* Keep pets indoors.
* Take shoes off before coming indoors.
* After spraying occurs, wash down other surfaces such as playground equipment or other items with which you or your family may come in contact. Don't water so much that you create a mosquito habitat!

Don't worry, it's at an all time epidemic of mosquitos carrying the West Nile virus. Better to toxify yourself than protect yourself and educate yourself and your doctors about the West Nile Virus.

The Sacramento/Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District has said via telephone that the aerial spraying will likely re-occur over and over again. One application of pesticides is bad enough, but Sacramento county is facing multiple aerial sprayings that will create a heightened, cumulative effect.

The district is governed by a twelve member Board of Trustees appointed by each county and incorporated cities in its jurisdiction. The board meets on the third Tuesday of the month, at 1:15pm in the Board room at the District office at 8631 Bond Road in Elk Grove.

Wouldn't be a democratic process without the boys keeping things orderly as murders go unsolved. Only had three of them take place today in Sacramento, murders that is. Now there's beneficial use of taxpayers money, overseeing a public meeting across the street from the Sheriff's department in a public building with seperate security already on duty. Gee lil rabbit, Elmer Fudd's gonna get ya.
