C-130s to Spray for Mosquitoes in Coastal Louisiana Parishes. AP, September 19, 2008. "Air Force C-130s will start flying low Friday over south Louisiana to spray for mosquitoes hatched in floodwaters left by the storm surge from Hurricane Ike... The health department says the insecticide, dibrom, is widely used to control mosquitoes Louisiana. The amount of pesticide used is about the equivalent of a shot glass over a football field, DHH said. It 'will in no way rain down on residents,' but people who don't want any exposure at all could wear long sleeves and pants outside or stay inside, the agency said."
