[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1590177, member: 7629"] maybe it's just me... but would be very leery of what chemicals gets sprayed inside my home. a perfect example is Dursban, which killed all insects. folks were using Dursban inside apartment to spray for cockroaches, etc. Dursban or chlorpyrifos affects acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter. too much buildup leads to paralysis and death. Now Dursban is outlawed by the EPA. for applications like long term termite treatment underneath your house, no problems... but spray inside... problems. it's all about dosage. used in areas of non-contact dosage is high enough to kill insect, but not be lethal to human. used inside your home, small children and small pets could accumulate dosages high enough to be toxic.
