    Q
    Is MotherEarth 2% Py Contact Aerosol safe to use around children and pets?
    Does MotherEarth 2% Py Contact Aerosol have a residual effect on treated areas, and is it safe to use with children or adults still indoors? Do I have to clear the area of people and pets before applying the product? Can this product work well with Mother Earth D dust?
    A
    MotherEarth 2% Py Contact Aerosol is a contact aerosol which means that it only kills on contact and it does not leave a residual.  It is perfectly safe to apply with children and adults in the home, but it is best to use the product while children are in another room.  After about 20 minutes, the product will have dried and then it is fine to have children come back into the room.  MotherEarth D is a product that leaves a residual and the same instructions apply as far as keeping children out of the room while you apply it.  It is a great one, two punch to apply the MotherEarth D Dust and the 2% PY Contact Aerosol.

    Q
    Is MotherEarth 2% Py Aerosol or Dust safe for 5 week old kittens?
    I inherited a stray cat who had kittens. I have cardboard over concrete with newspaper over the cardboard. Assuming it's safe for kittens, can I spray the cardboard, or should I use something like a plastic mat or tablecloth? (The concrete floor would be too cold.)
    A
    We assume you are spraying for fleas? The kittens should be removed from the area while the application is taking place, and they can return after the area has dried and the room has been vented. Mother Earth 2% Py contains the active ingredient pyrethrin which only lasts a very short time, so you must make direct contact with insects to be effective.

    Q
    Is there a safe indoor aerosol spray I can use to kill fruit flies and Gnats and doesn't stink?
    A
    MotherEarth 2% Py aerosol would be a good choice. There is a little bit of an odor associated with any aerosol product but it is known to dissipate quickly. This product can be used as a space spray or a crack and crevice spray and it is labeled for small flying insects like gnats and fruit flies.

    Q
    Is MotherEarth the best product you recommend for booklice infestation throughout our home and in our bedroom?
    We are looking for something that will help a serious infestation yet be ok to use where we sleep. Thanks!
    A
    Mother Earth can be used to kill booklice but will only be effective when the insects are sprayed directly. Talstar Aerosol is usually chosen to control booklice because it has very low mammalian toxicity and works very well to control booklice and it leaves a residual behind to keep killing the pests as they cross over treated areas.

    Q
    Is this spray effective for clothes moths? I live in NYC & can't purchase the Suspend SC as it's restricted
    A
    Pyrethrin products like MotherEarth 2% Py Contact Aerosol will only kill the insects you spray directly with the product. It does not have residual killing power to kill insects that are not present when you do the application. If you are looking for a concentrated residual insecticide that can be broadcast sprayed for clothes moths and is not restricted to NY you should look at Fenvastar EcoCap.
