I have Elm trees on my blvd and have 2 small kids and a dog, so i'm a little worried anytime chemicals are sprayed. I haven't used chemicals on my lawn or garden for 4 yrs now. HOWEVER, they are manuall sparying the bottom 24 inches of the trees and you literally have to EAT the bark to be injured. the chemicals are NOT being sprayed airbourne. So, NO I don't have concerns. If you gonna eat the bark off my trees you'll probably die from the dog urine on there.

if the CITY didn't do this, folks would be screaming that we aren't doing anything to combat the bug infestation.
