Preventative Mosquito Spraying Planned for Tonight in Brooklyn, Queens

The city Health Department plans to spray pesticides overnight in an effort to prevent the West Nile and Zika viruses. 

Trucks will spray parts of Brooklyn and Queens between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., weather permitting.

Health officials say no trace of Zika has been found in any local mosquitoes and the spraying is just a precaution.

They also say the pesticides don't pose significant health risks, but residents should stay indoors during spraying.
