cwhitt Tons of complaints about this issue have been filed over the years. Always excuses for the order by the state . Statement usually is the helicopter company did what the order states… not responsible for any damage by the overspray. So many have complained about this and it's always a process 'under investigation'….buried… is the usual update.
It's actually far worse for many have lost pets days after spraying and it's been going on far longer than we ever expected and still goes on even when certain known harmful pesticides have been banned… I can smell it every time they spray.
It seems to me that loosing beloved pets, bees, birds , butterflies and yes even bugs (good bugs) is not a concern. The state is using the loss of the states gross farm exports are far more important to the state's economy than anything else and noxious weed control in our forrest's.
