My laundry is done in the basement and I am concerned about pesticide having gotten into the dryer air intake.
I recently had an infestation of spiders in the basement of a newly-purchased home. I hired a pest control company. They sprayed the walls from bottom to top and the edges of the floors and ceiling.
The pesticide manufacturer for Demon Max warns against widely spraying it indoors. It is supposed to be sprayed only in seams near the floor and ceiling, not covering all the walls.
Should I be concerned about the pesticide residue getting into my dryer air intake?
@worldcoffeecup97,
Contact the past control company, tell them what the manufacturer says, and confront them directly. It is toxic to humans but they may be using a low concentration which is "safe". Don't touch the walls or any other places where you know it's been sprayed. Monitor yourself for skin irritation.
