Anyone else annoyed with the spraying?
I know we have to kill the mosquito's but after calling the 188 number and reading about the chemical they are using- Scourge, it makes me very nervous!!!!
Neurological problems, dangerous for pregnant woman, children and the elderly.............
they said they are starting at 630pm and will continue until they are done- maybe midnight but if not done by then it could go on longer. 
so now I am wondering ok dont breathe while they are spraying what about after its all done?

Re: Anyone else annoyed with the spraying?
Somoen posted a link yesterday to the article - It said pregnant women and pets should be stay inside at least a 1/2 hour after they're finished. -
Personally, I'd rather lock myself in the house for the night than have 7 billion potentially lethal mosquito bites - I wish they would have done this the BEGINNING of the season - before I endured the itching and misery !!

ITA, and I am normally very anti-pesticides, but there are too many cases of West Nile this year again.

I thought it stated they are spraying at dusk - which would be around 7:30, not 6:30. Where did you hear 6:30. I am trying to figure out which train to take home to avoid this

Re: Anyone else annoyed with the spraying?
My mom told me about this earlier today I need to go to the store tonight during the spraying to get my textbooks. Guess I'll have to hold my breath while I run from the car. That should be interesting...

I posted that link yesterday. You are not suppose to use ACs during the time period, b/c all they do is pull outside air in.
You can use a fan, but I plan to avoid the AC.

Says 630 on the website, and when you call the #.

Re: Anyone else annoyed with the spraying?
I am also debating if I should go to my mom's for most of the night. I have to walk my dogs and hate to walk in the neighborhood at anytime during the night, despite what they are saying....
I am a little nuts about this, I also plan to tape plastic over my ACs since I have ACs in the windows.

Re: Anyone else annoyed with the spraying?
I called yesterday because of DS' respiratory issues.
They will start at 6:30pm on the Queens border. They will go West to East. You can't really predict what time they will be in your area.
The lady said that it would disappear within 30 minutes.
You will need to change your clothes if someone what outside in the area they are spraying.
Make sure to close your windows. Only use recirculating AC and wipe your pets paws if they come from the outside.
Make sure kids' toys are not outside.

It does not take outside air. Just use the air inside the house.
Just like your AC in your car when you pick the recirculating option when you turn your AC on.

Re: Anyone else annoyed with the spraying?
WWYD if you were me? Do I go to my mom's so I can walk my dogs without an issue? But if I do this, then I have to run inside when I do get home.
Or do I stay home and let DH take my dogs out later that night (which still bothers me, I don't want my dogs or my DH going out and walking in the neighborhood).
WWYD?

No, meaning, if I go to my mom's we can walk them no problem (she doesn't live in Nassau). But is it too paranoid to then worry about getting out of my car later that night to come into my house?
I hate this pesticide stuff.
I just hate for my DH to walk my dogs in this sprayed area anytime tonight, so going to my mom's is the only option. But then we all have to get out of the car and run into the house really fast, it upsets me even to think about the pesticide in the air, on my dogs, or my DH breathing it in with his asthma.

ahh sorry misread.. Im not sure how long the stuff will actually be going around in air. That would determine if driving later would cause you problem.. Could your dh go to your moms alone ?

I would not use it. They say you can turn it on 30 mins after they spray but how do they expect everyone to KNOW when they sprayed their area?
I would cover the unit if you have something handy to cover it.
