Spraying will also take place Friday evening in a non-residential area of Breezy Point, Queens, in the Gateway National Recreation Area. Several radio stations in New York City are also running public service announcements. 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. Wash fruits and vegetables that could have been exposed to the spray. Make sure that doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes. Dispose of tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots, or similar water-holding containers.
