Recommended measures for the public
It is recommended to collect or cover children’s toys, food, and cutlery stored outdoors, as well as clothes dried outdoors, on the day of the treatment.
It is recommended to keep the windows and doors closed during the treatment and for 1 hour afterward and to turn off the artificial ventilation equipment that brings in outside air.
It is recommended to wash vegetables and fruits grown in the treated area before consumption or processing.
You must not stay in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle performing the treatment. The agent spreads in the air, so precautions are also recommended in the streets adjacent to the spa.
In effective protection, the local government also counts on the cooperation of citizens, as the number of breeding sites in gardens can be reduced by the population. The most effective means of protection against insects is the covering of rainwater collection barrels and garden pools, as well as the maintenance of gardens, regular mowing and mowing. These should be used to increase efficiency.
