Parts of North QLD have annual Mosquito spraying in wetlands and other prime beeding grounds to kill off the pesky little buggers. It should be considered for the South Coast if there is dramatic increases in disease reporting.

A DDT would be pretty hard to land on a mosquito. I guess we’ll just have to hope the boys&girls at Capital Pro Wrestling are up to it.
