More spraying and control likely means higher local government costs, which can land on taxpayers, while heavy mosquito pressure can also ding outdoor businesses and tourism.
Residents, visitors, and outdoor businesses would benefit from fewer mosquitoes and lower nuisance or disease risk.
Taxpayers may end up paying more for spraying, and people worried about pesticide exposure could see more chemicals used in their communities.
