To whom it may concern , I am a resident of Garnier Beach subdivision and noticed several neighbors with complaints of mosquitoe spraying . The main problem is with the flowering bushes and other blooming plants have been diminishing everywhere!! The spray is killing off bees that has been keeping these plant colorful with the blooms . I myself have not seen any bees nor flowers on any of my Azalea and Camilla bushes for at least 2 to 3 years now . Please stop this killing of wild life in our neighborhood. Also without the flowers there are no hummingbirds that come around anymore!! I live at Greenbrier Drive and Greenbrier Circle. Some people including myself are complaining about scratchy throats soon after these trucks drive by and fog the area . Please stop the spraying in this location
Thank you Dave Pinkerton
