US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) report about Etofenprox

Good morning,

We would like to share with you on some information that we came across about a chemical used as an insect repellent and killer.

Earlier today, we came across an article from the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) that did a study and lab testing about this chemical called Etofenprox. We were quite surprised about the findings and we feel everyone should take note of it. Attached is the report circled in red. 

For more information, you can refer to the report through this link:

Please share this information with everyone. It is always important to read what we are using on ourselves and around us.

Report on Natural Scented Repellent Sprays

Have a look on this report from the US about Natural Scented Repellent Sprays such as Citronella and Lemongrass:

Please note that natural scented repellent sprays are only repelling mosquitoes and they do not kill them. Same goes for other insect as well, natural scented repellent sprays only repel them for a short period and they will be back.

By repelling, we are still not solving the problem to get rid of the source and when this happens, there is more breeding and there will be more infestation. You have to get rid of the source such as the eggs of mosquitoes and bed bugs.
