Apartment mgmt had pest control company apply insecticide gel under the sink. Any danger to breathe/inhale?

There was no existing insect problem. They just applied the gel every 6 months as a preventative thing. I realize that this product was approved for use in the U.S. of course and is considered generally safe. But I was pregnant at the time. I'm moving to a new apartment soon where they'll likely apply the insecticide gel under the sink again. So I'd just like to know some info, such as the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or something regarding the effects of breathing around the chemicals in this type of gel.

I have never heard of any such issues with the baits and have been in the business for almost twenty years. There aren't any fumes associated with them. There are a number of different gel baits with different active ingredients in them on the market so you will need to find out what was used so as to look up the MSDS. Or the pest control company will supply you with the MSDS on request for what was used around your home.Apartment mgmt had pest control company apply insecticide gel under the sink.

You are by Law suppose to have immediate access to the MSDS and if you are delayed or have to wait a day or two the your land lord violated the law and you are the victim. ask a lawyer about your rights and possible damages.
