No, I don't think so. But the owners of the place where I live are

probably going to tent for termites <sigh>. I gave them info on the

" green " termite cos.

 

Did you catch the Bugman's column on Saturday? Here's what he says

about the spray they're planning to use:

" Here are some of the ingredients in Checkmate LBAM-F:

(E)-11-Tetradecen-1-yl acetate, (E,E)-9,

11-Tetradecadien-1-yl-acetate; cross linked polyurea polymer;

butylated hydroxytoluene; polyvinyl alcohol; tricaprylyl methyl

ammonium chloride; sodium phosphate; ammonium phosphate;

1,2-benzisothiozolin3-one; 2-hydroxyl-4-n-octyloxybenzophenone.

Ammonium and sodium phosphates can irritate or burn the skin, eyes

and respiratory tract. So can tricaprylyl methyl ammonium chloride,

which is used to mothproof clothing and degrades into chemicals that

are more environmentally toxic. Polyvinyl alcohol has caused

cancerous tumors in lab animals. It's also labeled as an irritant -

as is another Checkmate inert, butylated hydroxytoluene, which may be

linked to a spectrum of symptoms including asthma, gene mutations and

cancer. The little-studied 1,2-benzisothiozolin-3-one, a germicide,

is considered highly toxic to green algae and marine invertebrates,

according to a 2005 EPA re-registration document. And while there's

not much data on UV-absorbing 2-hydroxy-4-n-octyloxybenzophenone, the

family of chemicals to which it belongs is linked to the disruption

of hormones, including estrogen, according to a 2003 report in the

Journal of Health Science. "

" state officials say the amount of pesticide applied shouldn't pose

severe health risks, but they've also refused to rule out that the

spray can affect humans, particularly sensitive people such as

children and the elderly. "
