The image of the baby in a gas mask, the Don’t Spray Me! logo, popped up all over West Chester in 2016. That baby, just like a real infant, cannot be ignored. Signs picturing him with our web address attracted lots of attention and brought the importance of getting rid of mosquitoes without spraying to the attention of the community.
