Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'm the new member with " Orkinitis " and have a question. Ever since I discovered my health problems occurred after we hired Orkin, we have never allowed them back inside our house again. However, they have been coming and spraying Boric acid under our house and spraying permethrins in the back yard. I always have left the property when they arrived. I don't go into the back yard after they have been here. Our dogs are 3 years old and have never had a flea potion on their bodies. We have tried diatomaceous earth on the back yard and it didn't do anything. Am I safe to continue with this routine with Orkin or is there something else (safer) I could use in the yard? Thanks for any advice. Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Excuse my words, but what in Gods name is wrong with your property that you need them at all? Why do you need the backyard sprayed or the house boric acided? I never did anything to my house but check for termites, and I never needed treatment for anything > I'm the new member with " Orkinitis " and have a question.

We live on a horse ranch and have mice and have had some scorpions. We've lived here for 20 years and never had a problem when we had cats and we occasionally bug bombed the house ourselves. Problem came about when the last cat died and, since it seemed to be a death sentence to get any more cats here, we hired Orkin.
