"People in the North Natomas part of Sacramento are upset over the West Nile virus aerial spraying that happened over the weekend, saying the planes deposited possibly harmful materials covering their homes and their pets without notice.Rice fields near Highway 99 and Elkhorn Boulevard were the targeted area for the spraying, after mosquitoes found in the traps tested positive for the West Nile virus on Friday.Watch report:\u00A0People in North Natomas upset over weekend West Nile virus spraying\"As a public health agency, we thought we needed to act quickly to reduce the abundance of adult-infected mosquitoes that pose a threat to the public,\" said Luz Maria Rodriguez, the spokesperson for the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District.Neighbors living south of Elkhorn Boulevard said mosquitoes weren\u2019t the only things sprayed.\"If they were going to stay in that area, it would\u2019ve been fine,\" said Michael Fuentas, who saw the planes. \"But I heard them over our houses probably four or five times.\"On the Facebook page called Natomas Buzz, more than 100 people commented as of Monday night on a post regarding the spraying, with concerns about the noise, lack of notice and potential health effects.\"I heard them,\" said Angelina Lozoya, who lives near the rice fields. \"I thought it was an airshow or something.\"Rodriguez said the technology on the planes allows them to account for the winds and that they did not deposit materials outside the designated area.\"Even though people might see and hear the planes flying above them, the material is being deposited into the target area, which, this time was the rice fields,\" Rodriguez said.Rodriguez advised people to sign up for alerts on the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District\u2019s website. \u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
