HOUSEHOLDERS ARE ASKED TO USE OR DISPOSE OF WHATEVER STORED WATER THEY MAY HAVE OR TO KEEP WATER CONTAINERS TIGHTLY CLOSED TO PREVENT MOSQUITO BREEDING.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FOGGING EXERCISE STARTS AT 5:30PM EACH DAY

WE THEREFORE REQUEST THAT RESIDENTS KEEP THEIR WINDOWS AND DOORS OPEN IN ORDER AND ALLOW THE FOG TO PASS THROUGH YOUR HOMES SO THAT THE CHEMICAL COULD KNOCK DOWN ANY ADULT MOSQUITOES WHICH
MAY BE PRESENT.

PERSONS WITH SINUS OR ASTHMA PROBLEMS ARE ADVISED NOT TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES NOR IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FOG. IF POSSIBLE LEAVE YOUR HOME AND RETURN ABOUT ONE (1) HOUR AFTER.
