FORNEY, Texas — The city of Forney will begin spraying for mosquitos on April 26, 2015, weather and wind permitting.
The spraying will be conducted between the hours of 8:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. on the scheduled days.
“The water soluble spray that will be used to fog for mosquitoes will not harm animals under normal conditions,” states a release from the city. “Residents will not want their pets and open windows in the path of the fog machine due to residue and mild odor.”
The city asks residents to take the following precautions prior to spraying: bring in pet dishes or cover them; cover ornamental ponds and birdbaths; bring your pets inside for the night; do not go outside during spray time; keep windows and doors closed during spraying; and if you have health problems, such as asthma, take special precautions as directed by your doctor, if necessary.
The city is also offering the following tips to help with mosquito control:
1. Drain the water. Eliminate all sources of standing water that can support mosquito breeding.
2. Avoid going out during dusk and dawn. Mosquitoes are active during these times. They are especially active for two hours after sunset.
3. Protect your home. Make sure that doors and windows have tight fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes.
4. Wear a good repellant that has DEET in it. Apply according to directions
