chrysanthemum flower pesticide?

[Featheredsamurai]

Anyone ever use this before? It's suppose to be a pet safe pesticide, and apparently once it's dry you can even lick it. My concern was it's safe only once dry.

My brother is doing a year program with a company where they spray the house and property every 3 months, and anytime in between upon request. We decided early on that my room would not be sprayed, I didn't want to risk it near Kenji and Rosie(Crossing my fingers that spiders don't come running to my room for refuge LOL).

It has a slight smell, and my brother asked pet/bird questions to the guy as they walked around the house. The exterminator said he tries to be careful with pets, especially around birds because he knows how sensitive they can be. I was told to keep my room closed for 24 hours with a towel at the base just to be safe. I'm also have my window open.

Does anyone here have experience with this pesticide? How did it work for you?

Edit

Just read the the pesticide made from the chrysanthemum flower is called pyrethrum

Spiders are beneficial. They eat bugs and keep them under control. I always supposed they would move on if there were no flies for them to find, so their continued presence is an indicator not a problem in itself.

I'm always all about natural remedy and never use any sort of pesticides inside the house or in the yard where my dogs go. I'm allergic to a lot of the pesticides anyways, but I do own some just in case it's needed, but still not in the house....

If I lived in a city I would agree. I live in a area near the foot hills and everyone gets spiders in the summer. It's not a ton though, I don't even see spiders daily. My BFF lives right on edge of the hills, her backyard is hill, and I see at least one good sized spider every time. But even at her house I don't see bugs, other than the occasional fly that gets stuck.

Speaking of spiders

After I put the birdies to bed I head over to a friends house at sunset to stay the night and watch her cat, then head back in the morning. I went into the kitchen and found a massive garden spider! I managed to easily get it in a jar and let it go out front. This friend has a beautiful overgrown garden, along with a cat door which gives the spiders easy access.

That looks like some of the photos of a Wolf Spider. My brother-in-law had a huge one in his yard, a long time ago.
