1-28115346- The reporter, a commercial pest control operator, indicates possible exposure of a clients pets to an insecticide containing the active ingredient permethrin. The reporter indicated he applied the product diluted according to the label to a pet owners apartment 11/14/11. The pet owner had kept his two cats in the bathroom while the apartment was being treated. The product was applied to the carpet of the home only. The reporter was unsure how long the animals were kept in the bathroom of the home before they were allowed into the application area. He was unable to describe a discreet exposure incident and was unsure if the animals were actually exposed to the product in any way. The pet owner had contacted him to report one animal had died the day after application and another the second day after application. The pet owner indicated the fist cat, a two year old Persian (Subform III, #1), demonstrated no signs but was simply found dead the day after application. The second animal, also a two year Persian cat (Subform III, #2), had acted dizzy and confused prior to its death two days after application. The caller was unable comment on whether the pets had been taken to the veterinarian or if any necropsy was planned. His primary motive for calling was to determine if the animals signs or the outcome would be expected following product use. The reporter was advised use of the product as labeled followed by an appropriate re-entry interval would not be expected to elicit any signs. In this circumstance no exposure was observed. The caller was advised cats, as a species, are uniquely sensitive to the active ingredient. However, sudden death would not be expected and the signs seen are inconsistent with the signs expected in known toxicity instances. It is unlikely the animals illness was related to the use of this product. No further information is available.
