For current and future notices and/or
further information:
Although your chances of experiencing any health effects
from spraying are quite low, the following common sense steps will help you
reduce possible exposure to pesticides before, during or after spraying.
Steps you should
take: Children and pregnant women
should take care to avoid exposure when practical. If possible, remain inside or avoid the area
whenever spraying takes place and for about 30 minutes after spraying. Close windows and doors and close the vents
of window air-conditioning units to circulate indoor air or, before spraying
begins, turn them off. Windows and
air-conditioning vents can be reopened about 30 minutes after spraying. If you come in direct contact with pesticide
spray, protect your eyes. If you get
pesticide spray in your eyes, immediately rinse them with water. Wash exposed skin. Wash clothes that come in direct contact with
spray separately from other laundry.
Consult your health care provider if you think you are experiencing
health effects from spraying.
Steps you may want to
take: The materials used by Vector
Control do not leave significant residues on surfaces, but exposure can be
reduced even further. Pick homegrown
fruits and vegetables you expect to eat soon before spraying takes place. Rinse homegrown fruits and vegetables (in
fact all produce) thoroughly with water before cooking or eating. Bring laundry and small toys inside before spraying
begins. (Wash with detergent and water
if exposed to pesticides during spraying.)
Bring pet food and water dishes inside, and cover ornamental fishponds
during the spray period to avoid direct exposure.
