Please come to this meeting to help stop the aerial spraying of harmful pesticides 300 feet over our homes, parks and schools.

OC Vector Control District (OCVCD) will make a presentation.  Attendees will have the opportunity to speak for three minutes if they fill out a speaker card. You can’t do that at an OCVCD town hall meeting.

This is all a prelude to the April 21 OC Vector Control meeting in Garden Grove where OCVCD will vote whether to give their executive unilateral decision-making power to authorize aerial spraying of toxic pesticides over OC with little or no notice to residents.

The pesticides that OCVCD plans to use are ineffective and harmful, particularly to pregnant women and their unborn children, people with compromised immune systems, chemically sensitive people, young children, and children with respiratory problems, such as asthma. They are also toxic to bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and fish, to name a few. We want OCVCD to use effective tools to fight disease-carrying mosquitos – public education on the importance of emptying standing water and non-toxic mosquito traps which the CDC has reported reduce mosquito populations by 80%.
