Pesticide exposure

Hi ladies. I am new to the board. I am 5 months pregnant and wondering if I should be worried about this or am I being overly paranoid? Yesterday at my school, I was in the copier room and saw termites on the floor. I went to report it and they sent someone down to look but it sounded like they couldn't find them so I went down to show them. I opened up the door and they were spraying some pesticide on the floor. I smelled it right away so did not even go inside but asked from the door if they had found them and then quickly left. I am a worry wart and wondering if I am being paranoid? I am also worried about even picking up my copies on Monday. Thank you for any help you can give!

Re: Pesticide exposure

  • If they were in there doing the application, you're likely fine. If you didn't walk through and inhale a mist, or get the liquid on your skin, I wouldn't worry (have someone else grab your copies of you like).
    Usually those applications will only be made to the lower couple inches of the wall and at the baseboard, places a person wouldn't usually be touching with skin.
    It would be nice for them to post notice in the future, though.
