It destroys the eco system and kills beneficial insects. It also only cures the problem for a day or so until the mosquitoes return. The better solution is to get rid of excess water in ditches, drains etc. Rodney Bay, a tourist area, has a mammoth problem. The area by the Lime or across from Rituals has had water lying in a ditch for years. The odour is unbearable, each time we pass we have to cover our faces to get past. The area is such an embarrassment, have we no pride in our country. Pesticides come with another set of problems, lets clear up our sitting water.
