Did they spray for mosquitos in the slope yet? — Brooklynian

Did they spray for mosquitos in the slope yet?

Just curious because it seems there is this conspiracy theory in Windsor Terrace and Kensington that the slope didn't get sprayed but we are because the slope has more money blah blah blah. Frankly, I can't even use my yard this year because the mosquitos are so bad--I can live with a "little" toxic pesticide It hink.

  • You could be right about the taxes thing.
    My mother grew up on Virginia Beach and loves telling us how they'd be eating dinner on theit porch every night in the summer and have to cover their plates when the DDT was being sprayed.
    Have they been spraying here in the city? I've been out of town for three weeks so I'm oblivious. Plus my system has become somewhat immune to the bklyn squetors. (i.e., the bites only bother me for a few hours as opposed to a few days of those nasty PA Amish country bites).

    I heard they haven't sprayed in Manhattan in the past three years. Not sure why. For some reason they target the Greenwood Cemetary a lot.
    I don't know enough about this pesticide to be concerned or not concerned, just curious at this point.
  • I remember reading some official-type notice recently saying that WT and Greenwood Cemetary would be sprayed, can't remember if it mentioned the park as well, but I did notice that Park Slope was not included. We definitely have plenty of mosquitos here, at least in my backyard.

    It makes sense that they would target the cemetary, since there is a lot of standing water there.
