The city Department of Health will be spraying mosquito-killing pesticides throughout parts of our neighborhood tonight, between 8:15pm and 6am – [which was supposed to happen last week](http://ditmasparkcorner.com/blog/health/west-nile-spraying-in-our-area-tonight-what-to-do?ref=bklyner.com) but ended up being canceled because of the rain, according to a DOH spokeswoman.

The area to be sprayed is shaded yellow on the map above, although it’s only an approximation.

Here’s a [.pdf from the city detailing the spraying](http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/wnv/wnv-notice-20140819.pdf?ref=bklyner.com), and here’s more information about the [West Nile Virus](http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/environmental/wnv-spray.shtml?ref=bklyner.com).

And, to prepare yourself for tonight, check out the suggestions we detailed last week about [what to do to protect yourself](/west-nile-spraying-area-tomorrow/), including staying indoors and closing air conditioner vents.
