Personal protection measures should also be taken. It is relatively nontoxic to humans and other mammals, and health risks associated with the use of pyrethroids in accordance with EPA and DEC guidelines are negligible. If you have to remain outdoors, avoid contact with the spray. If you get pesticide spray directly in your eyes, immediately rinse them with water or eye drops. Wash skin and clothing exposed to pesticides with soap and water.
Some individuals are sensitive to pesticides.
Persons with asthma or other respiratory conditions are especially encouraged to stay inside during spraying since there is a possibility that spraying could worsen those conditions.
