The Mosquito Control Plane Flying over Our City

Tuesday, June 17, 2025
We saw Low flying plane over our city a couple day ago. We believe it was a 1976 Britten-Norman BN-2A-21.

The plane is mosquito control plane, now flying over to bomb insects. Actually, it is rare to see plane at daytime.

The local administrations use the plane when they have a budget for it during heavy mosquito seasons.  

I thought they just used aerial spraying from a truck. However, spraying from a plane is concerning for many people, it can access places that trucks can't go, and then can cause:
- dead to on many bugs such as lightning bugs in our back yard.
- impact on caterpillar and monarch eggs
- harmful to pets and etc.

What do you think?

  8. We never had mosquito control planes when I was a kid. We had trucks which blew huge billows of noxious clouds. Which we chased. Like mental cases.

  9. I'm not a fan of mass spraying for insects in general. I know mosquitos carry disease, but I feel like there are other, more localized ways of taking care of that issue. This feels like it causes too many environmental issues.

  11. We too had trucks go through the neighbor spraying. They don't that anymore because of the damage to other insects and plants as well as people.

  15. Myślę że to nierozsądne, pryskać na wszystko na oślep. Ludzie mogą się zatruć i mieć problemy z oddychaniem. Nie popieram.
