The following was reported: All areas sprayed walls, floor, ceiling and household items. Items in the kitchen and cupboards. Walls with spray marks and wiped on the walls. Different chemicals have been analyized at X Laboritories 2017 and X Laboratories in 2019 as my health and my Landladys health deteriate. We are x and x years of age. You can see the spray marks on the walls and the carpet in the bedroom were removed due to fumes from them, but the walls, wood floor is marked from chemicals and the ceiling stucco needs to be tested. Additonal testing will take place with labs for pesticides in the carpets in the Dining Room and Living Room. UPDATE November 2020. I share a Condo with another senior and our bedding, carpet, walls, clothes and the entire Condo has chemicals everywhere. Property Management have not sprayed the condo. These are 2 powders one gray and one yellow, which are very hard to see, and when wet another dark amber colour that is used as well. The dark amber one has been sprayed all over inside my car and even effected the steering wheel removing the texture. If it is wet or dampened it is much worse.
