Last week we got fogged again. Once more they stopped outside my house (though they did not do this anywhere else as I can hear them moving and see them for quite a distance) got out and fogged all around the neighbouring properties. They walked down my neighbour’s side wall and sprayed into my back yard, also stood in the road and sprayed over my front wall into the front yard.
They refuse to send the inspectors to look for the breeding sites and prefer instead to do the cheap, lazy job of sending the fogging machines, which do not work on the mosquitoes, but poison people and animals.
