DUET is a toxic chemical pesticide which can harm people, animals, beneficial insects and our planet. It is a Synergized Synthetic Pyrethroid. Here is the MSDS sheet: http://www.co.hernando.fl.us/mosquito/pdf/Duet_MSDS.pdf Aqualuer 20-20 is a toxic chemical pesticide.

The second point is moot given that adulticiding is ineffective, but it is important because spraying continues as West Nile virus recedes into a state known as chronic endemicity, one in which very few people are infected. http://thyroid.about.com/library/weekly/aa072600a.htm http://www.naba.org/wnvirus.html http://fortworthtexas.gov/citynews/defa ... x?id=99106 Fort Worth Does Not Spray for West Nile http://www.stopwestnilesprayingnow.org/ ... y2002.html STOP WEST NILE SPRAYING Click on this link to read the following articles: http://www.stopwestnilesprayingnow.org/ Refuting the Myth – No Such Thing as a Safe Dose.

Now that we know the spraying is inevitable, what can we do to help protect our own properties, if anything? I plan on using floating row cover over what I am able, but is there anything else we can do? Also, is there any good way to dispose of the row cover after the spraying? I was thinking possible large clear plastic bag to which a little water is added since the chemical supposedly "breaks down" in water and in sunlight. .......(I wonder what it "breaks down" into)? |

The MSDS for Duet is full of mis-information. Check the ingredient MSDS's and you will see skull and crossbones and danger to aquatic environments. It also states less than 1% VOC when it conains 15-25% Aromatic hydrocarbon solvent which is 100% VOC. |
