NYC will be spraying sections of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island with an aerial larviciding treatment this week — here's what to know
The city's Health Department plans to spray sections of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island with an aerial larviciding treatment this week. The city will be targeting marshes and wetland areas, weather permitting, and the helicopter doling out the spray will only be treating nonresidential areas.
The treatment is being deployed in order to reduce mosquito activity and the risk of West Nile virus. No such cases have been reported yet this season.Here are the neighborhoods on the city's list: Brooklyn: Parts of Bergen Beach, Brownsville, Canarsie, East Flatbush, East New York, Flatlands, Homecrest, Madison, Marine Park, Midwood, Mill Basin, New Lots, Remsen Village, Sheepshead Bay, Spring Creek and Starrett CityStaten IslandHere's a map of planned mosquito spray locations in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens next week.
However, sensitive groups, such as people with respiratory issues may be affected. Vulnerable people should stay indoors during the hours crews are spraying when possible and close air conditioner vents if they can. They should also wash any skin and clothing exposed to pesticides. That goes for fruits and vegetables that may be exposed as well.
