The fogging is to reduce the mosquito population and the risk of West Nile virus, which can, in some cases, be fatal.
Sanitarians will stop the fogging if they see families out walking, in their yard or an open garage door. The spray disperses after 20 minutes and only affect mosquitoes and smaller insects. Honeybees should not be harmed.
