City of Minot Employs Ohio Air National Guard To Spray For Mosquitos
The Wyoming News has discovered that the City of Minot, North Dakota, uses the Ohio Air National Guard to spray their town with mosquito spray instead of local pest control companies.
The City of Minot has gone to another state instead of their state, the Ohio, Air National Guard, and employed a C-130 crew to conduct aerial spray of mosquito poison called “Naled.”
The Wyoming News reporter contacted the Ohio Air National Guard for comment and was told, ” We are working in conjunction with the Minot North Dakota Air Force Base for this mosquito operation.”
“Naled” is a poison that can harm and kill Butterflies and Bees and wipe out hives and nests of these flying insects. However, according to the Ohio Air National Guard, ” We conduct these spray missions at night or the late evening so that any harm to Bees and BUtterflies is minimal.”
The city of Minot is spraying because the mosquitos have gotten really bad. According to a Minot resident who is a teenager, so the Wyoming News will not publish the young man’s name, he stated, “I can not go out and play outside with my buddies because the mosquitoes are so bad that I will come back in the house with bite bumps all over my body.”
The “mosquito mission” will be completed by the 910th Airlift Wing’s Air Force Spray Squadron from the Youngstown Air Reserve Station located in Ohio. They will be using a C-130 cargo aircraft equipped with spray apparatus.
