Question
Can you provide us with more information on the toxicity of fipronil?
Case ID : 00002

A pest control agency has been applying fipronil at our office once per month for termites. This substance is also used by our landlords at our house. Our neighbors are asking because they have 4 children under the age of 6, including a small baby. The landlord says that if the tenants refuse to allow the treatment, the tenants will have to pay for the termite damage.

Q1: Is fipronil the safest choice for regular (1-2 times monthly) treatment of our office (and home)?

Q2: Does it matter that the treatment is done on a Saturday, all windows are left shut, and we are not informed when we come in Monday that the treatment was done (and continue to leave the windows shut).

Q3: Are there safer options to combat termites?
