Livid Local Accuses Council of Ignoring Basic Hygiene as Screwworm Panic Grips Our Streets
So the “experts” are scratching their heads over why we’ve got a screwworm scare in the neighborhood. Let’s use some common sense for a change. I’ve been picking up trash in my own front yard for a week because the garbage pickup missed us three times running. You don’t need a PhD to figure out that rotting trash attracts flies, and those flies breed into the screwworm that’s now getting into the cuts on the strays and my neighbor’s old dog. The council wasted two months on a study about “migration patterns.” How about you look at the overflowing bins and the dead possum that’s been rotting behind the community center? No, instead they want to spray poison everywhere while my kids play outside. Use your heads—clean up the filth and the screwworm goes away. This isn’t rocket science, it’s basic mucking out.
