Some safety info for you to read- Attn 'No-pest strip' users

its never a bad idea to use a natural solution over a chemical solution regardless, plenty of natural means of stopping pests that dont cause cancer

since I've been using them for longer than most of you have lived, I'll keep on risking my health, and report back to you ... yes, they do sell them in California, at WalMarts, grocery stores, hardware stores ... Shell discontinued theirs years ago, now they're called 'Bullseye', or something ... cant read the label, since my eyes dissolved ... I wash my hands after handling anything like that, and I haven't eaten one yet, so maybe I'll live a little while longer :

Lol reap, just promise that if you DO happen to get pregnant, you'll take them down?

sweetie, just so you won't worry about me, I'll quit using them immediately ... besides, the lil bastards will probably die from the Global Warming, anyway

Thanks for the info, but I don't think I'm going to stop using them. They say everything causes cancer these days, and since no types of cancer run in my family, I'll take my chances. Plus I'm never really in my grow room for longer than 30 minutes at a time. I never let any kids in my grow room and if my girlfriend gets pregnant (knock on wood ) I'll take it down. For now, I'll take my chances in order to have no bugs eating my plants in my bug infested basement.

EDIT:

When male and female rats were given a diet containing 100 ppm (5 mg/kg/day) dichlorvos just before mating, and with this dosage continued through pregnancy and lactation for females, there were no effects on reproduction or on the survival or growth of the offspring, even though severe cholinesterase inhibition occurred in the mothers and significant inhibition occurred in the offspring.

Doesn't that mean its not really a reproductive risk? And they were having it fed to them?
