Generally, there is no need to relocate during mosquito spraying. The pesticides pose minimal risks to human and animal health. To minimize exposure, stay indoors 15-20 minutes after spraying, close street facing windows, turn off window air conditioners and keep pets inside or cover their cages. This will lessen exposure and allow the technicians to perform a more thorough application. The spraying season will soon come to an end. The pesticide used becomes less effective as the evening temperatures drop. The mosquito population will also subside once the nighttime temperatures consistently cool down. Until this happens, take precautions by using spray, cover legs and arms with clothing or limit outside exposure during peak mosquito hours. If you have any questions about the spraying, please contact CMMCP at 508-393-3055.
