mosquito spraying and ponds
Thanks Bonnie:
I drive a Crown Victoria, which gives a lot of front end room for damage, sparing the driver. No problems on my end.. thanks for asking. Interesting also that the air bags didn't deploy. I think it was because although it was a front impact the deer must have been airborne, and hit the grill above the bumper, so the impact did not trigger the air bag sensor. When those deploy you're talking $1500 a piece just to replace them (minus the labor). Metal can always be fixed, it's just the hassle factor.. Happy ponding, Greg -- "Bonnie Espenshade" wrote in message ...

Happy ponding, Greg Hope you're well and the cars recovery will be quick. -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |

mosquito spraying and ponds
Yep, Greg ... that is exactly where I moved to ... 'country deliverance' ... gosh, It was wonderful back in the days before they cut down all the oak trees that covered the hills and built all these dang Villas. That is why my backyard is greened in. No one can see me - 'course I can't see anyone either - which suits me just fine.

mosquito spraying and ponds
Hmmmm, I guess I'll have to respectfully disagree after using Malathion LD
50 (per Dr.J's instructions in his book) for the removal of flukes in my pond. Unless they're gonna rain droplets over the pond, I'd say the fish are safe and the carbon would remove it after one pass. Sorry to hear about the deer & car meeting, I doubt I could have even typed anything close to legible after such an event. ~ jan On Thu, 17 Jul 2003 23:36:11 GMT, "Gregory Young" wrote: First off, the bacteria is actually Bacillus thuringiensis.. sorry about that.

I *thought* it (Malathion) could be used in small, controlled doses. So far,
the fish have not shown any signs of distress, and they've been exposed to the spray for 3 years now. It's only been this spring that I added the activated charcoal, so that should be "icing", so to speak. I hope. Lee "~ jan JJsPond.us" wrote in message ...

Many years ago during the medfly invasion in California, the public was very upset about the idea of aerial spraying of malathion. B.T. Collins, Director of California Conversation Corps, insisted it was safe. To prove his point, on July 11, 1981 he presented a glass of malathion diluted to working strength and in front of the media, he DRANK IT! He said it tasted pretty bad, but otherwise he felt fine. It was that demonstration that silenced the public outcry, and spraying resumed with very little public resistance. Steve Lowther |

Happy ponding, Greg The reason your air bag didn't deploy is because are bags are triggered by inertial sensors. The deer would have had to seriously impede the forward momentum of your Crown Vic before it would have imployed the air bag. There are several failsafe features designed into the system. There are firing sensors, which are on the positive side of the circuit, and safing sensors, which are on the ground side of the circuit. You must trip one safing sensor and one firing sensor to complete the circuit and deploy the air bags. Usually there are three firing sensors. One on each corner and a center sensor located above the radiator. This is a combination sensor that has a firing sensor and a safing sensor. There is also another safing sensor located in the center of the firewall, just below the cowl. The sensors consist of a cup shaped magnet that holds a gold-plated ball. In front of the ball are gold-plated contacts. In an impact, inertia pulls the ball out of the cup and into the contacts. This closes the circuit to either the ground side, or the hot side of the air bag firing circuit. This is why you must trip two sensors, one safing and one firing, at the same time. Anyway, I thought it was an interesting bit of trivia.... Steve Lowther |

To give you an idea of the treatment, for a 50 gallon sick tank we were
using 2 drops, harder water can need up to 3-5 drops. So it is small & controlled! For 1,500 gallons I think we were using less than 1/2 a teaspoon. We measured it out in mliters, actually I made the chemist measure it out. I added it with a hose end sprayer into the 50 gallon pump chamber that feeds the water fall, so it was well diluted before it hit the ponds. The plus is, it's cheap, it's easy to purchase, and doesn't set the filter back. ~ jan On 21 Jul 2003 08:42:15 -0500, "Lee Brouillet" wrote: I *thought* it (Malathion) could be used in small, controlled doses.

Neat Steve!
Thanks for teaching me about the firing mechanism of air bags.. it's a;ways a good day when you learn something new! Got the estimate today.. insurance says it's $4200 of damage.
