I have been traveling a bit and have noticed in many suburb cities that flood retention basins in those areas often have a park like setting and are put in the lowest part of the neighborhood meaning that is where the water flows too. Now then when we allow these areas to recieve the flood waters and put in them soccer fields, play ground equipment where Mosquitoes will spawn and flourish are we not inviting bites? The reason I make this issue is the 39 deaths this year from West Nile Virus. 3-4 people are expected to die each week this year from West Nile Virus and it has already started. Folks this is serious. We need to spray these areas of artificial flood retention areas. Surely with Winter coming and these low areas we are going to see Mosquitoes. We need to make sure there is funding in Suburbian America where there are Mosquitoe will congregate as our children play. 3-4 people dieing every day. For God Sakes not the kids. We complain about the Troops being attacked in Iraq, but we have a much more serious smaller problem here. And as far as I can see the Sierra Club is promoting the right to life by rare breeds of Mosquitoes in Wetlands, considering them a species. However the Mosquitoes have been around for over 400 million years and next to the Cocharoach are probably the most successful species to ever cruise the Planet. Let's be smart about this issues, it is serious and growing. How do I know? Why do I care? Well because we clean play ground equipment and are careful not to use large amounts of water attracting the spawning of Mosquitoes near play ground equipment. We must protect all Americans that includes kids. "No Child Left behind-for the Mosquitoes" Please protect the kids.

I just want us to be aware of the risks and potential deaths of kids if we do not spray. Please think about this issue it is real.
