Insecticide labels provide an extensive amount of information and indicate that the insecticide has been extensively tested, evaluated, and regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency . In fact, all insecticides cannot be legally registered, much less sold, without going through these procedures.
Toxicity is the quality, state, or degree of being poisonous.
Too often most people think of toxicity as poisoning that is caused by ingesting a small amount of some substance. However, almost any chemical is potentially toxic given enough of it and the right circumstances. In fact, every homeowner has cabinets in their bathroom, kitchen, or garage that contain bottles of substances, that if ingested, inhaled, or spread on the skin, may cause harm. Even something as seemingly innocuous as table salt, is potentially toxic, if sufficiently large quantities are ingested. Toxicity is usually expressed as the lethal dose or LD50.
