...aerial spraying in an attempt to control a specific pest? Apparently we are about to be dumped on from up above with some insecticide in an attempt to limit the spread of one wee beasty known as the "painted apple moth". I am not happy about this, they are saying that there will be no likely health consequences (and this is just for humans, pet health has not been addressed in the slightest) at all BUT they will set up hotlines for medical questions and possible problems ....however (always with the Big But!) they will not provide monetary rummineration in the form of medical care should it cause any health problems. (Talk about cover their bases!) :( There's to be a public meeting about it (letter arrived today) I think either Andrew or I should get ourselves along there and see what's what!

Anyone ever had to deal with anything like this? If so did you take any action? Note any consequences? I'm worried about our birds (budgies in outdoor avairy) too.... the dogs and people can stay indoors but not the birds. And my herbs and vegetables...??? Will it effect them I wonder?
