Just curious, where do you live? You must live in a really tropical area to have city-wide sprayings for mosquitos. xD I know only one other place that does it, New Orleans, and that's because they're a swamp.

If my research on mosquito chemicals is correct, the type of chemical they spray from planes is designed to kill adult mosquitoes is harmless to vertebrates and actually dissipates from the air/everywhere from hours to a couple of days, depending on what exact chemical is used. So I wouldn't freak out too much, perhaps just wash it with soap and water. Really there's not too much concern.


I live in south-central Florida. There are rivers and wetlands all around up (and we live on a river).

Any chemicals? Vinegar? Or just hot, hot water?

Vinegar couldn't hurt (although if you know what type of chemical they use in the spray it would be good to look up if it reacts with vinegar). Make sure you rinse it really well though because the smell might bother him.
