Cockroach insecticides can be harmful to the human body if not used properly, which is related to the amount of the insecticide ingredients absorbed. Usually the harm to human body is divided into mild and severe.
1. Mild: If cockroach insecticides are used in excess and the indoor environment is not ventilated, it may stimulate the human digestive tract, respiratory tract, central nervous system, etc., triggering nausea, vomiting, coughing, headache and dizziness.
2. Heavy: If prolonged exposure to high concentrations of pesticides, may lead to serious poisoning. There may be numbness and convulsions of limbs, drop in blood pressure, respiratory difficulties and so on.
Therefore, when using cockroach insecticides, they must be used in strict accordance with the instructions and must not be used in excess. Cockroach pesticides often contain irritating chemicals such as acetamiprid and imidacloprid. The chemicals can spread through droplets and enter the human respiratory system.
It is important to note that insecticides should not be sprayed directly on food, dishes, clothing, bedding, etc. People and animals should be kept away from the sprayed aerosol. At the same time, when spraying, open the window in time to ventilate the room only after a certain period of time.
