Did you know that spraying those pesky lady bugs with pesticide spray can have a potentially harmful effect to your health? The United States Environmental Protection Agency states, "pesticides emit pollutants such as hazardous air pollutan...ts (HAPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). These pollutants can contribute to health problems that may affect residents, the neighborhood, and the community" (2011).
This can lead to the following side effects:
*headaches *dizziness *nausea & vomiting *rash *weakness
as well as many others...
If you are planning on using bug spray near your home, be sure to take extra precaution such as wearing gloves, mask, ventilation, using non chemical means, and cleaning pets.
