Fire Island, E. Hampton to get mosquito spraying
An East Hampton park and four communities on Fire Island will be sprayed Thursday with the pesticide sumithrin as part of a Suffolk County effort to reduce the mosquito population.
Campgrounds and recreational areas of Cedar Point County Park in East Hampton will be sprayed from 7 to 11 p.m. with the low-concentration aerosol pesticide, county health officials said.
In addition, all streets in Fire Island Pines, Water Island, Atlantique and Summer Club, on Fire Island, will be sprayed from 6 to 10 p.m. Thursday, health officials said.
Children and pregnant women should take care to avoid exposure when practical, the health department advised. State health officials say it is unlikely, for most people, that adverse health effects will occur as a result of such spraying.
