In terms of professional use sometimes it seems like that old legal document adage... the large print giveth and the small print taketh away .............

Sadly, this sort of thing has got to be more common where people do not read the local language. So in NYC, those who do not read English (or in some cases Spanish) may be misusing pesticides, since directions are hard to come by. Amen, Winston!

Unfortunately it is often the misuse of a material which leads to it's untimely demise. If one total release aerosol (bomb) treats 6000 cubic feet why are people surprised when using three in the kitchen ends up involving the fire dept. When people spread Demon powder around; which is supposed to be mixed with a gallon of water and applied to cracks and crevices, why the wonder why the cough or trip to the ER for an asthma attack. The trick to pest control is to get the pest and not the rest. Gasoline, cyanide, vikane, vaponite will all kill bed bugs dead. But what are the consequences if misused. “after their father used an industrial insecticide not meant for home use”
