We live near Blach Middle School and received an automated telephone call from Santa Clara vector control notifying us of the spraying that will be done tomorrow night starting at 11 PM (Wednesday September 2nd).

I'm surprised, with the drought and all, that there's still standing water around in which mosquitoes can breed. There doesn't seem to be even a lake or park-pond in the area being fogged.

@ Alex M

You are correct. This problem is almost exclusively created from lawn watering excess by area residents who would sacrifice their children for grass.

The state website (WestNile.ca.gov) discloses that only one person has reportedly contracted West Nile virus WNV) in Santa Clara County in 2015. There are 1.8 million residents. Vector control has fogged three areas this year (before tonight): two parts of Santa Clara and part of Palo Alto (with a bit of Mountain View) after receiving only one positive test for WNV in a batch of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes do not tranfer the virus to other mosquitoes. The pesticide being used does not just affect mosquitoes. It kills many insects including bees and harms animals including humans. The bureaucrats are are pulling the trigger on fogging too quickly and are using hollow point bullets. Close your windows. Bring in the pets. Hold your breath in the morning.

I live in Waverly Park and got NO NOTICE. It was warm Wednesday night and I think some windows were open.

Medfly, looks like you inhaled a truckload of Zenivex E4.

Now, anyone know why some neighborhoods got notices and phone calls and others did not?
