Even though you did not print my comments, I noticed that you corrected your spelling of certains words, and the sentences are much better constructed. Thank you.

Fogging of mosquitoes are done at dusk; that's when the mosquitoes come out to play and bite. In my county in Florida, the helicopters fly at dusk to spray the mosquitoes. Antiguans, we need to stop making big issues about everything, even though it's a benefit to us.

Mr. Pompey, the best time to kill adult mosquitoes by fogging is actually at dusk, when they are most active and looking for food.

I do agree with you that heavy fogging at peak traffic hours can cause accidents. The Health Department should consider abandoning the heavy fogging units and upgrade to truck-mounted fogging units that use an ultra-low-volum e (ULV) spray, basically very fine aerosol droplets that stay aloft and kill mosquitoes on contact. The amount of insecticide sprayed by ULV units is small compared to the area treated, and minimizes exposure and risks to people, pets and the environment.

Good Day Eric,
None of the two you have suggested. Thus, there was no need to engage you in a quarrel, since that seemed to be the primary objective of a hand full of people.

High regards for your thought provoking and invariably "...valuable contributions" to the many sensitive issues. You might, therefore, wish to review and grade yourself on this one.

Suffice it to say, we both came from different disciplines. If you do not understand "...ROAD SAFETY," you may may not see the rationale in the news story.

Suffice it further to say "...HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS" on the public roads are not limited to "...broken down vehicles; ...impasssable roads; ...pot holes with/without water; ...loose gravels; ...fallen debris from trucks, including oils and concrete mixture, but also "...thick smoke that reduces the visibility of motorists and pedestrians, whether from fogging or g** fires along, or in the vicinity of the highway and other impediments. Road users know the effects of these when they are encontered. Do you not know of "...smoke hazzard?' Have a good day Eric.

Know what, they were fogging the busy highway for mosquito moving violations and at the same time, slowing drivers down.

How about that? There might be less accidents on that highway, caused by mosquitoes and dangerous drivers.

Has Pompey gone soft in the head or is he the idiot?? The health department is doing their job – thank God- when they don’t we complain, when they do we still complain. The fog on the road is always a very temporary thing. Is it too much to expect motorist to slow down and use due care and attention? Especially under these conditions?

This kind of activity is usually done very late at night for at least two reasons when most people are in doors. (1) For health reason: people will most likely not be exposed to the toxins and (2) for the same reasons the article is complaining about. Now those with RWE would know this.

"Let's fix the little things before we attempt to fix the big things."

Isn't it better to fog for Mosquito during late afternoon / when sun go down, when they are now coming out to feed? just a thought!
