The following was reported: My neighbour hired the company (name) to spray their property for mosquitoes with Dragnet. They have come on two occasions and are not supposed to spray near the patio area, but they have both times. The intake vent to my house is near the property line, and somehow the Dragnet has entered my home on both occasions that they came to spray. I was not sure the first time as I hadn't felt the sensations before and thought that it might have been something else. Once I experienced the same symptoms the second time I knew it must be the Dragnet. Once I started to feel the same issues again, my husband happened to enter our furnace room (that has no windows for ventilation, only the fresh air intake vent) and noticed a strong chemical smell shortly after they were here spraying. I contacted my neighbour right away and the company to inform them and ask what they were spraying and for the MSDS sheet.
