I strongly disapprove of the above!!!
I am a licensed pesticide applicator here in PA. I DO
know that 'in this state', it is illegal to use
pesticide in a manner that is not in accordance with
the labeled instructions. No pest strips, probably
use active ingredient 'dichlorvos' which is very
dangerous to children and known to cause cancer. It
is also listed in Group 1 as 'Highly toxic to
honeybees'.
Best Wishes,
