Are the insecticides used for fogging for mosquitoes safe?

0

Pesticides are tested extensively for human and environmental safety before their use is allowed. Because of the way they are applied, mosquito sprays use some of the safest available insecticides. However, no insecticide is completely safe so mosquito fogging is done only when public health officials decide that the healths risks from West Nile virus or other mosquito borne illness outweigh the risk from exposure to the insecticide.
