Mosquito Fogging Trucks! Safe for pup? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I was walking Triss down the road in our front yard when a mosquito fogging truck just drives by. I didnt have time or warning to get her inside before they drove by.

Think its safe for her to be out to potty?

I dont know- Someone has to have an idea. I know in other towns they send out notification so you are not outside.

Normally they broadcast so you know to not be outside. It's not supposed to be very toxic but who knows..it's an insecticide. Keep an eye on your baby and see if you see any adverse reactions.

We received a phone message the other day that they would be spraying for mosquitos that night to have windows shut and stay indoors. I don't think they use a real potent spray as we are still overrun with mosquitos. Also if they are spraying when people are out it can't be too toxic also all the wildlife seems ok from it. So I think your baby will be fine.

Yeah, I never recieved notice. I don't think anyone else did her either. They came about 8pm and there were joggers out, people walking, and lots of kids playing.
