I really think that you should all be very careful with what you put in your homes.
The EPA registration and testing is very important to us as well as all of the necessary
MSDS sheets.
It will be important to those who purchase and live in your homes.
there are far too many people playing down the need for regulation in this new area.
Most of those people have no registration or testin.
Do the right thing and at least protect yourself by using one of the EPA Registered
products.
We use MicroShield ES and have been more than happy. www.microshieldit.com
Good Luck to you all.
