Manhattan Mosquito Spraying This Week: West Nile Virus Found in All 5 Boroughs

The New York City Health Department will be conducting mosquito spraying in parts of Manhattan this week to reduce the risk of West Nile Virus. This comes after the virus was found in all five boroughs this summer.

Spraying will begin Thursday night at 10:30 p.m. and continue until Friday morning at 6 a.m. in the following neighborhoods:

  • Bowery
  • Chinatown
  • Civic Center
  • East Village
  • Financial District
  • Flatiron
  • Gramercy Park
  • Greenwich Village
  • Kips Bay
  • Little Italy
  • Lower East Side
  • Midtown South
  • Noho
  • Soho
  • Tribeca
  • Two Bridges
  • Union Square
  • West Village

If there's bad weather, the spraying will be delayed until Monday night and Tuesday morning.

While the Health Department says the risks to humans and pets are low, residents are advised to stay indoors during spraying. Those with respiratory conditions may be affected, and those sensitive to spray ingredients could experience temporary eye or throat irritation or a rash.

To minimize exposure, close windows and consider using the recirculate function on air conditioners.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 8 out of 10 people infected with West Nile Virus do not experience any symptoms. Those who do may experience a fever, headache, body aches, joint pain, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash.

The CDC also reports that the vast majority of those infected with West Nile Virus recover completely.
