Bug sprays

I didn t tell my mother about the incident right away because I didn t want her to worry. But I decided that from then on I would camp in more populated areas. The problem with that, though, was that I had to move several times a day and several times a night because I d get wind from a camp fire or somebody using bug spray. [Pg.81]

Scientists acknowledge that many substances contain chemicals known to be toxic in high concentrations. To chemically sensitive people, these and other substances can be harmful even in minute amounts. A whiff of hair spray, fresh paint or bug spray, for example, can be debilitating to a person with multiple chemical sensitivities. People with MCS must avoid chemical exposures or symptoms will persist or worsen and the illness will progress. [Pg.263]

Control Cover plants with floating row cover attract native predators (bigeyed bugs, damsel bugs, pirate bugs) with groundcovers and pollen plants try releases of minute pirate bugs spray seriously infested plants with pyrethrin as a last resort. [Pg.329]

Typical household bug sprays are generally mixtures of pyrethrins. These are generally not highly toxic to humans however, inhalation may cause asphyxiation. [Pg.664]

The preparation method also influences the resistivity of f3"-alumina tubes. Bug-den and Duncan [26] showed that the resistivity of tubes made from spray-dried powder is lower (4.3Qcm) than that of tubes of vacuum-dried powder (5.5 Qcm). [Pg.581]

BED BUGS—Take wooden beds apart. Spray Moth-Knox in all crevices and on all slats, springs and mattresses. In severe cases spray behind baseboards, moldings, door-frames, pictures and all loose wallpaper. [Pg.836]

I would call myself an environmentalist, but there are different lands. I am not strict. If I had an outbreak of bugs that were going to kill the trees I ve worked on for twenty years, there would be no question that I would spray to get rid of them. I would use lindane, even though it s illegal, because I have worked on those trees for decades. But I try to keep from doing any more spraying than I have to. [Pg.102]

I don t know their job, but they seem to know their job. We really don t know the impact of what they are doing.. . . We ve had a variety of bugs eating something. I don t know what they were. I don t know what they spray with. . . When they come out they just look and see what they need to do. [Pg.105]

The company] comes out and does our fertilizing. When they find some bugs or something they just spray and leave us a note. We ve used them for years, so they just go ahead and do whatever they need to do. [Pg.105]

Perhaps the best known of these are the scale insects, family Coccidae (order Homop-tera), represented by the San Jose scale. This species has for many years been a serious pest of deciduous fruits. Another group within this family, the mealy bugs, are also susceptible to oil sprays. Oils used in control of these species are directed against the adults or partially grown forms. [Pg.4]

There is little doubt that the advent of DDT and other highly effective materials has brought about change in the nature of our insect problems. For example, the apple red bug which was formerly controlled by oil sprays has almost disappeared as a commercial pest in orchards following the adoption of a DDT spray program. On the other hand, the European red mite has become more severe as a result of the general use of DDT. It seems safe to say that the advent of DDT has not decreased the over-all use of petroleum oils as insecticides. [Pg.10]

Uses Pure fenthion is a colorless liquid. Technical fenthion is a yellow or brown oily liquid with a weak garlic odor. It is grouped by the USEPA under RUP and requires handling by qualified, certified, and trained workers. Fenthion is used for the control of sucking and biting pests (e.g., fruitflies, stem borers, mosquitoes, cereal bugs). In mosquitoes, it is toxic to both the adult and the immature forms (larvae). The formulations of fenthion include dust, emulsifiable concentrate, granular, liquid concentrate, spray concentrate, ultra-low volume, and wettable powder.28... [Pg.140]
