If You Do It Yourself, Be Cautious! Don't let your family fall into the correlation statistic that shows where the male homeowner does his own pest control, there is a 400% increase in the incident of cancer for the children in the home. We believe this is because many men will use more chemical than is necessary because they really want to kill the pest right now! The male tendency to exert one's self should be tempered when working with chemicals. We suggest that you also use caution when using some of the "off-the-shelf" pesticides you might buy at retail. Many of them are cholinesterase inhibitors (nerve agents) that act on the cells in little human bodies in the same way they impact insects. Because of our body size we certainly suffer less trauma then insects but some people can be more stressed than others. When you buy chemicals for use around your home-know what the mode of action is, and be aware of the LD-50. How do you know if a chemical is safe? One of the best ways of measuring toxicity is "LD-50" which stands for "lethal dose" of 50% of the test population. It works this way: a LD-50 value is assigned to a chemical which represents the number of milligrams of that chemical that it takes to kill 50% of a test population of laboratory rats. The higher the numerical value, the lower the toxicity.
