Generally, there is no need to relocate during mosquito control spraying. The pesticides have been evaluated for this use and found to pose minimal risks to human health and the environment when used according to label directions.
Please close street facing windows if possible, and remain inside during the application and for 15-20 minutes afterwards. Accidental exposure is not expected to cause any health concerns in most people.

Pets may be brought inside, but this type of pesticide is similar to ones used for flea and tick control. More information is available at www.cmmcp.org
