Kills bugs dead. Just don’t spray it inside.


There are a lot of products on the market to kill those pesky ants, roaches or rodents in your home, but you should probably avoid the types that spray. 

Indoor spray bug killer can be toxic, especially if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Exposure could leave you with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, muscle twitches or worse. Some are more hazardous than others. Pest control expert BrianKabell says to look for these warnings on the label:

• “CAUTION” is mildest

• “WARNING” is more hazardous

• “DANGER” is for products with most harmful possible effects

Brian says we’re better choosing a gel or solid pesticide over a fogger or spray to minimize exposure. If you still choose to use a spray to kill bugs or other pests, assess the area before you do. Move any plants, pets and people from the room. Fish birds and reptiles are at especially high risk.
