1-44832119 - The reporter indicated an exposure to an insecticide with the active ingredient permethrin. A second insecticide with the active ingredients pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide was also applied, but is not manufactured by the registrant.

The reporter reentered his home eight hours after application and experienced irritation of his eyes, throat, and skin. After ventilating the home overnight, the reporter said he reentered the home on the day of initial contact with the registrant and did not experience any symptoms. The reporter was advised that it would be safe to reenter the property once the products had dried and that treated surfaces could be wiped off. No follow-up was attempted.
