Dengue treatment?

[Mikel1]

Is the city or state sponsoring a dengue water and fumigation program now? Just had someone come by to schedule spraying.

Yes. They do this regularly. Dengue is a serious problem in the state.

There is a full time dengue prevention team. They survey homes and others looking for all types of breeding areas like old tires with standing water and many others. The spray program is aggressive. Glad to have this level of action.

Thanks! Just checking. Wanting to make sure it was actually a govt service.

Does anyone know what it is that is being sprayed? They spray inside your house? I'm not sure I'd want that....

They do not spray inside the home. They survey your property outdoors to inspect potential breeding spots and to recommend changes to reduce infestation.
Not sure of the insecticide used in the public spraying.
