Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm from the MSDS it still sounds dangerous. Hey Capt Busy, Do you know why those specific states were selected for the mailing?

This stuff is similar to the stuff I use at my house, and my grandson live there. It has a very short residual, and low odor. While I'm sure it cannot be good for you if you drink it, but in my opinion, the MSDS makes it appear to more dangerous than maybe it is. According to the professional exterminator we use at the station, when stored and applied properly, it is safe to use. But as has been posted about "bug bombs", I am sure people will be stupid with it.

Good information to know.

Thanks CB
