Mosquito Control in our area!! What you need to know about the truck spraying.
Spraying insecticides from a truck is one way to safely kill mosquitoes in an area.
Truck spraying is used to:
Control and reduce the number of mosquitoes that can spread viruses.
Reduce your chances of getting infected with viruses.
Mosquito control trucks spray very small amounts of insecticide into the air to kill mosquitoes. This spray is a fine mist that acts as a fogger in the area. Is the spray harmful to people, pets, animals, or the environment? No, when done correctly, truck spraying will not harm people, pets, animals, or the environment. Spraying is safe! You do not need to leave an area when truck spraying for mosquito control takes place. If you prefer to stay inside and close windows and doors you can, but it is not necessary. The spray does not harm pets, but you may choose to bring them inside when spraying occurs.
