Residents can take following precautions to reduce exposure:

• Pay attention to notices about spraying found through newspapers, websites, automated telephone messages or notices distributed by municipal, county or state agencies.
• Plan your activities to limit time spent outside during times of possible insecticide treatments.
• Move your pets, their food, and water dishes inside during ULV application. Also bring clothing and children’s toys inside.
• Stay away from application equipment, whether in use or not.
• Whenever possible, remain indoors with windows closed and with window air conditioners on non-vent (closed to the outside air) and window fans turned off during spraying.
• Avoid direct contact with surfaces that are still wet from pesticide spraying. Do not allow children to play in areas that have been sprayed until they have completely dried (approximately one hour).
• If you must remain outdoors, avoid eye and skin contact with the spray. If you get spray in your eyes or on your skin, immediately flush and rinse with water.

Please Note: Treatments for adult mosquitoes will be performed on streets on a limited and localized basis within the specified areas.  These applications are typically performed during early morning or late evening hours to reduce exposure to people and pollinating insects. Treatment time for a specific street is not possible (rain date-mostly next day).  If the conditions are not ideal, the treatment will not be conducted.
