Here's a quote:

"Dengue fever is spread by Aedes mosquitoes. The control of Aedes larvae with Abate® 1. 1G is an effective way of controlling the spread of dengue fever.

Abate® 1. 1G in water retains its efficacy for at least 2 months if water is not replenished or replaced. It is an economical and efficient way to keep your environment Aedes-free."

Apparently, Abate is not harmful to people or othe mammals. At least that is what BASF, the producer of Abate, says. Outstanding global corporate citizen that they are, why would we not believe them?

But, Abate is only effective if applied to standing water. This explains the granular they throw in standing water when they come to your house. What is left unanswered is - why would they spray on the streets and the side of the roadways?

Likely answer is that this nighttime spraying is useless and ineffective, or what they are spraying is some other chemical.

My understanding is that the anti-oxidents in red wine may counteract the harmful effects of most sprayed chemicals.
