The City’s Environmental Health Department urges citizens to stay inside during the spraying, along with any pets or animals. They’re also urging the common prevention practice of the 4 D’s:
Drain standing water in and around your home and neighborhood.
Dusk, daylight and dawn are ideal times that mosquitoes are most active. Limit outdoor activity during these times.
Dress appropriately before going outdoors.
DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) is an ingredient to look for when purchasing insect repellent. The use of bug spray is recommended at all times, especially during the day.
