The spraying will occur early in the morning or in the evening. The spray will be distributed by low-flying, yellow airplanes. They will only spray in areas where residents were notified. The state Department of Natural Resources says the spray is not harmful to people or animals, but those living in the treated area might want to stay indoors and keep windows closed to avoid direct contact. Gypsy moths can kill trees by eating their leaves in May and June. For more information, call 1-800-642-6684.
