MOSQUITOES

| March 18, 2010 9:00 PM

I am a resident of Moses Lake and would like to leave my comment concerning mosquito control.

The Moses Lake area has an abundance of water and habitat conducive to the mosquito without continued and consistent control these population will escalate beyond control.

One other aspect and concern that I have, living on the lake is, not being a botanist, is determining which stage of mosquito will be encircling my house, my animals and me? Two people are attacking me both with guns, one gun is loaded with live rounds — West Nile or some other disease — the other with blanks, am I supposed to let both shoot me then call someone after I have been shot? Then you will come in and spray after the damage is done and the disease is out of control?
