i read that, too.

plenty discussions about the 4 hour thing.

i suggested that if someone was REALLY paranoid about the dangers, they might want to place strips in a zip lock, while they were in their space.

as for using in a room JUST off of people spaces???

careful and wise... i would use an organic like Einstein Oil, or an organic soap spray.

a bit bold... i would use them in area, but seal it off better from dining area.

really ambitious... i would relocate either the dining area, or my grow.

past child-bearing age and don't care... i remember these gizmos back in the 70's. my family had them in MANY places we hung out as humans. that and when i die, i doubt dichlorvus will over-ride all the other toxins i have ingested in my life, whether on purpose, or by accident.

one thing i know for sure... i have yet to see a live spider mite since about 5 days after i started using these strips. i do detect a VERY slight smell, but NOWHERE as near as strong, or offensive as neem, or those organic soap sprays.

NOTE... i still, and will continue to use neem bath when girls move from 4" veggie pots to their 3 gallon resting place. old habits die hard.
