Mosquito Spraying, Florida, 1991
They say that south Florida would be uninhabitable if it weren't for air conditioning and mosquito spraying. In Lee County, the latter is done by fleets of DC-9 aircraft, which carpet the county weekly with a deadly mixture of Malathion and diesel fuel. The pesticide affects more than mosquitoes, however. The spraying affects the very base of the food chain, killing most other insects as well, from butterflies to beetles.
