what spray ?? I have not seen a single truck spray the “wooded” area of Oak island all summer. I am a homemaker and home almost everyday all day and night.Not a single truck has sprayed this area all year.
I would be very interested to know what Oak Island used for mosquito spray during the 60’s and 70’s. It was a very common sight back then and we played in the sandy streets as the “mosquito truck” went by spraying. My Sister and I have wondered about that childhood exposure.
granma……3am on the spraying.
