The Richmond Hill spray zone includes ZIP Code 11208 in Brooklyn. In addition, as announced late yesterday, spraying is also scheduled for Wednesday on all of Roosevelt Island . If you have to remain outdoors, avoid eye 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. Remove children's toys, outdoor equipment and clothes from outdoor areas.
