The US Environmental Protection Agency and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation do not require relocating or taking special precautions during mosquito control treatment. Individuals, especially pregnant women and children, should remain inside during the treatment and for about thirty (30) minutes afterwards. In addition, individuals may minimize exposure by closing their doors and windows, turning window fans off, setting the air conditioner to maximum and re-circulate to avoid any unnecessary exposure. Keep children’s toys indoors, cover fish ponds during spraying. Keep pets indoors, as well as their food, water dishes and toys.
