There is very little focus on larvacide control, and there is no community-wide spray notification system in place so folks get indoors on spraying nights. Also, the town employees take no safety precautions themselves - no special attire or truck windows closed while spraying. I've even complained to the state health department but they claim malathion is safe. And they aren't concerned at all that the malathion MSDS says it's toxic to bees. Colony Collapse Disorder isn't part of their agenda. I could go on... but clearly the EPA game you're writing about is more than a little out-of-touch.
