Default Insecticide

on 7/23/2007 9:11 AM JohnnyC said the following:
Good morning.
We have a local bug company come and spray on a summer program for 6 months.
It's done as a preventative measure.
Any ideas what the name of the insecticide these guys use? It must be some
sort of general purpose insecticide. It's sprayed around the foundation of
the house, as well as inside. It must be safe for animals too because of
the cats, etc.
I've never had the chance to ask the guy who comes.
Thanks.


Probably Cypermethrin, a synthetic insecticide concentrate that is
non-toxic to humans or animals when dry. Sold under the label 'Demon
WP', for one.
