A member asked:
Is ortho home defense insect killer safe to be around humans? it says to spray in and outdoors. however i read that it is a pesticide and dangerous...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ortho Home defense: From the Ortho site - it contains 2 ingredients Bifenthrin and Zeta Cypermethrin. both have low toxicity towards mammals (humans). skin contact is not toxic but ingestion is. So - best recommendation - spray when the air is still - keep everyone out of the treated area until it dries. See http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/bifgen.html and http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/cypermethrin.pdf
