Any delay would present an imminent threat to public health and safety, exposing the public to potential vector-borne illness or even death,' officials said in a statement.Vector Control said residents in the affected area do not need to relocate during spraying. Pesticides being used have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for use in public areas, have been used by other vector control agencies throughout the state and are applied at an 'ultra-low' volume.
