do these strips smell when they are working?
Better question
Are no pest strips safe to use with a six month old in the house? The plants are in the basement and she never goes down there.
I would say yes,,,, but wouldn't take the chance.Quote:

But why take the chance when your precious baby is there.
Best of luck
I owuld have to disagree... neem oil works great,, the trick is to use it before you geta bug problem (this will save you money in not buying a quick fix chemical). I use it weekely even if I don't have a bug problem. It works as a prefect preventative to bug outbreaks. by the time the plant is really mature it has enough neem oil coating on its leafs that Some bugs (mites) wont even be able to bite into the leaf.Quote:

Couple things to keep in touch with.... Grow room should be cleaned once a week Witha vacume if you gotz one, And use neem oil even if you don't see any bugs...
Its more work but saves time and money in the end when your scrambling to find a chemical that will cure your problem.

Just make sure you wear the proper gear when applying it!!!
