All pesticides used will have a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) that is available through United Lawnscape, the contractor applying them. The hours of operations are from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and dependant upon park usage.

City officials say all areas are safe after the material has dried, which is usually within 2 – 4 hours depending on weather conditions.
