From the Daily News:
The city is getting a jump on skeeter season by spraying larvicide in several Queens, Bronx and Staten Island neighborhoods next week to stave off the West Nile virus.
Helicopters will spray larvicide on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to reduce the mosquito population in marshy and non-residential areas between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Specific locations include: Pelham Bay in the Bronx, Alley Creek, the abandoned Flushing Airport, Dubos Point, Edgemere Park in Queens and several areas of Staten Island.

Great - just spray poison on everything because you know it doesn't kill birds, amphibians and beneficial insects.
Who are the morons that sanction this?
The DOH. It's been going on since the 1990s.

Be careful about rejecting all pesticides.
Thanks to the ban on DDT approximately 50 million people have died from malaria.
