Sounds scary, like the old Viet Nam days but don't worry, they are not targeting us. I remember when I was a County Commissioner one of the primary topics of the summer was mosquito spraying. Billions of them along with countless gnats make Rich County their home in the summer. Have you ever noticed why none of the adult men in Randolph or Woodruff wear short sleeve shirts or shorts? The planes fly twice a year on July 4 and 24th. They spray late in the evening when the mosquitoes are out and the bees are in. Many people worry about the negative effects that the pesticide, malathion. All the research I have seen indicates that it breaks down rapidly and is safe at prescribed levels. Without it countless people would die of malaria and Florida would be uninhabitable. So when you hear the drone of a low flying plane on a summer evening, know your taxes are at work.
