Aerial Spraying Begins Tonight

Media reporting that the local government will begin aerial spraying over Harris County today in order to "reduce mosquito populations".

What they're not reporting is WHAT it is they'll be spraying over our neighborhoods, lakes, creeks, etc. No mention about what chemicals they're planning on using. Shouldn't these questions be asked? Hello, Houston media?

Northwest Harris County to receive aerial spray to combat West Nile - Community Impact Newspaper

PS...Most of Harris County and Houston's water supply has been converted to surface water. Concerned?

Found these articles regarding the recent sprayings in Dallas. Noticed they setup certain "exclusion" zones where they would not spray, including the area around former president Bush's house in Preston Hollow. If it's safe for everyone, why do that?

According to the Chronicle, the county will be using a chemical called 'naled' and only areas northwest of town will be targeted for this particular application.
