The Commission recommends the following steps to reduce exposure:

• Plan your activities to limit time spent outside during times of possible insecticide treatments.
• Move your pets, their food, and water dishes inside during ULV applications
• Bring clothing and children’s toys inside
• Stay back from application equipment, whether in use or not
• Try to remain indoors with windows closed and with window air conditioners on non-vent (closed to the outside air) and window fans turned off during spraying
• Avoid direct contact with surfaces that are still wet from pesticide spraying.
• Do not allow children to play in areas that have been sprayed until they have completely dried.
• If you must remain outdoors, avoid eye and skin contact with the spray. If you get spray in your eyes or on your skin, immediately flush and rinse with water.
• Consult your doctor if you think you are experiencing health effects from the spraying. People who suffer from chemical sensitivities or feel spraying may aggravate a preexisting health condition may consult their physician or local health department.
