Spraying of mosquitoes is killing our bees! The city of Farmington is using MasterLine Kontrol 4-4 which is toxic to bees! Also toxic to our pets drinking water, as well as fish ponds! http://www.bugsource.com/pdf/Kontrol4-4label.pdf

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Permethrin (3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl(+/-)Cis/trans 3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl) 2,2-Dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxylate…4.6% Piperonyl Butoxide Technical Equivalent to 80% (butylcarbityl)(6-propylpiperonyl) ether and 20% related compounds……....4.6% INERT INGREDIENT:…..90.8% Contains a Petroleum Distillate Solvent
As a good polar aprotic solvent, 1,2-dichloroethane could be used as degreaser and paint remover but is now banned from use due to its toxicity and carcinogenity. As a useful 'building block' reagent, it is used as an intermediate in the production of various organic compounds such as ethylenediamine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2-Dichloroethane

Please help me to convince the city to discontinue the use of this pesticide.
