1-24662165- The reporter, a pest control operator, indicated potential exposure to two home owners and their pet to an insecticide containing the active ingredient lambda cyhalothrin. The reporter indicates he applied the product diluted (unspecified rate) to a homes kitchen twenty four hours prior to his initial contact with the registrant. The reporter indicated he had informed the home owner to re-entry should be six hours following application and they should ventilate thoroughly prior to re-entry. It is unknown if the home owner observed the instructions provided. The pest control operator reported he had been contacted by the male home owner (Subform II, #1) to state he, his wife (Subform II, #2), and their dog (Subform III, #1) had all developed a cough twenty four hours following application. They report a detectable aroma; no specific exposure incident was described. The reporter was advised of potential non-specific symptoms of respiratory irritation that can occur when individuals perceive the aroma of herbicides/pesticides. The reporter was advised of clean up that may mitigate aromas, and that sensitive individuals may require symptomatic care. No toxicity would be expected. The reporter was unable to be reached despite attempts for routine follow up. No further information is available.
