· Remain indoors whenever possible while spraying is underway

· Keep children and pets inside during spraying and for about an hour afterward

· Rinse homegrown fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating or cooking

The Mosquito Control Program will continue monitoring conditions and will announce additional spraying as needed.
