The installation will begin spraying an insecticide within the next two weeks to control the bagworm and webworm population which are stripping the leaves from trees along Grant, Pope and Kearney avenues.
The spray being used is Bayer’s Suspend and Tempo, both of which are approved for use by the State of Kansas, Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency. Both sprays can cause mild irritation and possible rash on exposed skin to humans and pets but are temporary effects.
To limit potential exposure to the public, spraying will be done after the duty day as conditions permit and pedestrian access to the areas will be blocked. Pedestrians encountering the spray crew while they are spraying from the lift truck are asked to select an alternative route to minimize contact. Any fruit or vegetables grown in the area should be washed before consumption.
