Please Help!!!
I live in San gabriel city, Los Angeles county. Since a few weeks agp, the department of agriculture have come to my house giving me paper that said they found an insect, asian citrus psyllid and Huanglongbing that affect citrus trees. I have refused the treatments and talked to them and called their hotlines for five different times. I left a message for the supervisor in charge of spraying in this area, but he didn't call me back.
My home was sprayed with chemicals, Tempo SC Ultra , Merit 2F and Core Tect this morning by the Los Angeles county agriculture. They just came to my door and handed me with a warrant and put poisons into the ground around my trees and spraying them as well. I have told them that I am allergic to many chemicals, and my father and I have chronic health problems, and the chemicals they were forcing onto me would make me and father ill. But they didn't care. I feel like being raped in my own home! Do we have any rights anymore? When I tried to go over to the my chicken coop and get two of my hens out to a safer area. I was not allowed to go in my own property!!! And the CHP officers that came with them were restraining and handcuffed me. I felt so violated. My pets and me were traumatized by this event. My poor chickens were traumatized because they have to be confined to the little day pen now. and they couldn't go to their nest to lay eggs. The coop is next to a grapefruit tree which was spayed and chemicals were put in the ground. I don't know if it would be safe to let the roam around because they plut so much of this poison into the property. I am so traumatized as well because I feel my rights were violated. I had to stay inside my house until they finished the treatment. I even called the paramedics because my heart were racing so fast. They wanted me to go to the hospital, but I had to stay here to watch my chickens.
The first time when they sprayed this area, I refused the treatment, but I came home to find two men were putting the chemicals into the soil. I had a fit, and they dig them up. I also have to clean up the area and throwing away the chemicals they left behind. The chemicals caused me to have headache and dizziness for a few days. That was a month ago. This time they had a warrant, and I didn't know what to do. My poor hens are making the noise that they are stressful because I know they want to go to their coop to lay eggs. But I can't let them out because I don't know if it is safe yet or is it ever going to be safe. I think I have go to dig up the chemical in tablets that they put into the soil, whatever I can, and spray with water so they won't be eaten by my chickens. So much for taking care of the land, the soil, and being organic for the last 25 years. Please I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
