After treatment, open windows and doors to let fresh air circulate. Proper ventilation helps remove lingering chemical fumes.
Stay out of sprayed rooms for the recommended time. Follow the instructions on the pesticide label to reduce exposure risks.
Wipe down kitchen counters, tables, and frequently touched surfaces once it’s safe. Avoid washing items immediately if instructions advise otherwise.
Wash bedding, curtains, and clothing exposed to pesticide residues. Use gloves while handling contaminated fabrics to avoid skin contact.
After cleaning or coming into contact with treated surfaces, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Shower if needed to remove residues.
Keep pets away during treatment. Rinse or wipe paws and avoid letting them access sprayed areas until it’s safe. Water houseplants if advised.
Be alert for symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, or skin irritation. If any occur, seek medical attention promptly.
Consider natural pest control methods or integrated pest management to reduce future chemical use, keeping your home safer long-term.
