Everything that's sprayed in a house eventually leaches into the ground and then to the groundwater. These chemicals do not dissipate; they are forever in the ground, furniture, walls, etc.

I have preached about this problem many times, and all the spraying is a problem! People move to Florida and think they must have a service contract with a pest company. The pest companies put the fear of God in you and your neighbors tell you that you must have yearly service. Nothing could be further from the truth!

I originally moved to Florida in 1983 and have NEVER had a contract with a pest control company. The two times I had an issue I treated the problem then, but never on an ongoing basis. You will always see an occasional bug, but a few bugs is not a reason to have a company routinely come in and spray.

I encourage homeowners to cancel their service with their pest company and see what happens. I guarantee that if you have a clean house you will hardly see any bugs and you will be helping to save the environment.

I agree completely.
