Pro,

My dad is 82 years old.

He flew crop dusters in the worst of chemicals made in open cockpit planes for around 12 years of his 43 years flying crop dusters.

He was born and raised on a farm so as a young child he was working with arsenic as a pesticide without safety equipment.

At 82 he still flies and teaches aerobatics And flies himself between his house in Idaho and mine in Calif. I know plenty of crop dusters in there 80's and the only ones I know who haven't made it to an old age died from crashes.

Chemicals nowadays are worlds safer but caution is still a good habit. All insecticides I am aware of for home purposes are synthetic pyrethroids, a derivative of pyrethrum which is a naturally occurring insecticide and are typically inactive within 24 to 48 hours within a home and very weakened within a couple of hours of exposure to an open environmentand are considerably weaker than their like ingredient Ag chemicals I use.

If you follow the directions and use common sense you will be safe, same with dish soap.
