I just had a pest spray done. No termites were found - the guy inspected every room thoroughly, climbed into the roof and under the floor and checked around the perimeter - fences, dead trees, etc.
There were three treatments:
- injection of some chemical on door hinges of kitchen/vanity cabinets
- spray of white powder in roof and underfloor
- spray of liquid around floor perimeter and outside house.
How safe are these chemicals? E.g. The white powder can come down into the house through air vents. I've timed it so I'm visiting the folks for a few days.
Do I need to give bench tops a wipe and wash bed sheets afterwards? No five (X) second rule on food that fall on the floor, for how long?
They can't be too dangerous, otherwise it would be too hazardous to work as a pest technician, and they'd have poor health and short lifespans, right?
PS: were these appropriate treatments?
This having very little to do with bargains, I think you might be better off asking on Whirlpool. The folks there are used to answering questions of this nature.
