The anti-mosquito fog blaster truck just swept through my neighborhood (twice) siren blaring. But instead of indiscriminately fumigating everything, there was a guy with a hose sitting shotgun targetting only standing water.
Thats a sensible new development. |

I wish they'd do that here.. we don't even get a warning..I hear the big F'ing noise of the stuff being sprayed twice a day it seems and i run to close my windows.. (not fun at 6:30 am) before the fog reaches my apt, i get a good breeze so i don't like to shut my windows... funny thing is I live right in an outdoor market so all the fog goes over all the food bet you that tastes yummy.. |

I'm 10 floors up, so I don't have to give a second thought about it for once.
Although, I do get a kick out of watching from above all the neightbourhood kids running around and playing in the stuff. Yeah, just breath it in. Deeply. |

in all the past years that the mogi man has
come by my house, there would always be a huge
thick foul smelling white cloud floating around the
neighborhood for hours after.
whenever I heard it coming I would dash around the house
closing all the windows.
this year it has come by three times now and it was
the strangest thing; only a little bit of smoke
coming from it and no smell.
I did not feel the need to close all the windows.

I remember when I lived in Cheonan and the truck would come by, and I would be on the street and then covered with this white smoke. I would try to evade the truck, but sometimes you couldn't get away:) LOL |

Every day for the past two weeks our mogi truck has come by at 6:30am, too. Must be working. Not a single mogi in my apt yet. |

I don't either really... in my 4 years this is the 1st time i've seen it sprayed in an area more than once.. (maybe i haven't been home at other times) but I'm home sleeping at 6:30am and usually around 7 pm is when they come around again.. not sure if it's a truck as they're on the back streets and it just progresses forward.. |

I got to ride in one the other day. Whee! The sprayer wasn't going though. They were just taking me to the right municipal building after I went to the wrong one. That was nice of them. |
