Spraying house while wife is pregnant - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

plumberman · 08-15-2008, 11:42 PM

Any suggestions. We just moved into our new house and it needs to be sprayed. Ants, roaches etc. I am spraying them when she is at work with Home Defense but it doesnt last too long. I wanna get the house sprayed by a professional but I am leary because she is pregnant. On the other hand I wanna get it done before our son is born.... So should she stay at her moms for a few or am I just overeacting?

Always err in favor of that new baby's health. Banish her from thine kingdom (temporarily)

Science has NO idea exactly what some of these toxins do to developing babie989jnop92jin;c4o89p7y=f134ip

Mom's to be used to smoke,
drink, and ride in cars with no seat belts.

Good to know Plumberman is taking to the
Dad role (worrying a lot).
If it's a reputable outfit, they should be able
to show you the MSDS sheets and let her
ask the doc....unless you just want some
time away from the hormonal swing dance!

She can stay if she :

1. Wear mask;

2. Open all windows: and

3. Use fans to blow/dry all smelling air out.

Make sure your Pest Control Company is using Organic Products. ECO smart - ECO PCO products. " Works better then must toxic pesticide chemicals on the market.

Maybe on Mars!!!!!

Sorta like 7th Gennnneration Products. Highly touted by the tree huggin' crowd, but NONE of their soaps do anything toward cleaning. But I would like to bet you use them!!!

I would have to agree, however when you call a professional you can also ask them to use ant gels which will be harmless to anyone pregnant. Endless of course she eats the gel.

There are minimum risk pesticides made from plant materials but as far as Eco smart working better I really don't think so. If they did then every bug man on earth would be using them.

Pesticides are not as terrible in the hands of a pro as they are with a homeowner.

check out the precautions that should put your mind at ease so you can call your pro. http://pestcemetery.com/spraying-pregnant-women/

And now you'll know who to blame when your kid pops out and looks like your avatar.

There are organic sprays that can be applied. The only difference is that it will need to be re-applied more often depending on the issues.
