Understand properly administer an insecticide so you don't cause any unwanted damage somewhere else.
Insecticides are poison. Their function is to kill a variety of bugs that eat crops, damage property, and bother people and animals. Unfortunately, while the insecticides are good at killing the targeted bugs, these dangerous chemicals do not just affect the pests. Humans, animals and plants can all suffer if they come into contact with insecticides. Does this Spark an idea?
Humans
When people are exposed to insecticides, they can develop a variety of symptoms depending on what they were exposed to and how long they were in contact with it. People can breathe insecticide from the air or they can touch it directly, but more often it comes to us in our food supply. Long-term exposure to insecticides can cause cancer, asthma and other allergies, birth defects, tissue damage, decreased fertility and death. Short-term exposure can cause neurological and gastrointestinal problems, rash or hives, and vision problems.
Animals
Pets and farm animals can suffer from many of the same symptoms as humans. Rashes and cancer are possible, and weakened immune system function is likely. Insecticides can have severe effects on animal reproductive abilities due to decreased fertility, incomplete births or hatching, and even a destruction of male animals' genitals.
Plants
Insecticides retard the growth and development of plants. Besides being poison, the chemicals can coat the plants and block the sun, effectively halting the process of photosynthesis. The plants absorb the toxins, which remain in the plants for long periods.
