MINEOLA, N.Y. (1010 WINS) -- Authorities arrested a Long Island exterminator accused of placing a bucket with a camera next to woman's bed on Thursday.
According to detectives, a 19-year-old woman hired Joroba Pest Control to exterminate her apartment in Mineola.
While the service technician was spraying her home, some of the chemicals got on the victim.
The technician advised the victim to change her clothing as the substance is poisonous and harmful.

After a thorough investigation was conducted, Walter Rivas, 45, was arrested and charged with unlawful surveillance.
Rivas will be arraigned on Friday.
Detective's request anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Rivas to contact the Third Squad at (516) 573-6353.
