"My own personal feeling is they should have opted in," she said. "We are getting all kinds of calls from individuals that say, 'Well, ground spraying is great when it goes down the street, but it only gets my front yard, not my backyard.' There are some people that are very concerned about it. Maybe they will reconsider, maybe not. Hopefully, the ground spraying that they've done is enough to take care of the issue. I certainly hope so."
The county said bad weather could change its spray plans and encouraged residents to stay indoors during the aerial spraying.
