Incident Date / Location: 05/30/07 / (City, State) Registrant Aware Date: 06/08/07 Description of incident: Information transcribed from e-mail's Pest Control company explained that approximately 1 1/2 week ago, his company treated the home in question for Brown Recluse spiders. The treatments included Demand CS used indoors as a crack n crevice and baseboard treatment. They also treated under the furniture. In addition, PCO treated the attic and crawl space with ULV and dusted any voids (maybe including the attic). Prior to any treatment, PCO was careful to have the homeowner in question remove any pets from the inside. PCO suggested that the homeowner not re-enter the home with the snake until at least 12 hours after the treatment. Made note that there is not a specific re-entry period on the Demand CS label. Mentioned that the homeowner allowed the snake to "run free" in the home after re-entry. Unfortunately, the snake died, but to my knowledge from PCO¿¿¿s comments not for 1 1/2 weeks after the treatment date. The homeowners took the snake to the local PetCo pet store. The pet store diagnosed death from pesticide exposure. Follow-Up information: Follow-up from PCO - Very important - (homeowner with snake), did not take the snake out of the terrarium either while outside or after re-entering the home. Therefore, the snake would not have been directly exposed to any treatment surface residue. Also mentioned that the PCO had treated an apartment where Owner lived prior to moving into this location. Assumes, then, that the snake was at the apartment, as well. Final note. PetCo explained when diagnosing the cause of death that the customer should have kept the snake out for at least 2 days. That small amounts of pesticide exposure would kill the snake. Snake died 6/8/07.
