Best Answer

Depends on the insecticide and who is in contact with it. Small children and the elderly are most vulnerable.

There is considerable debate on this topic. History teaches us that as knowledge improves insecticides become more dangerous. Since there are organic solutions for just about every pest you can easily control them without risk from insecticides. Would you use something today only to find out later how dangerous it is? I did, and am now sorry for it. I used about the most dangerous insecticide available on the market, one that some groups try to get banned. My son ended up with Torrets Syndrome. I may never know if I caused it. But it has changed my sons life, and if I could do it again I would not use it!
