    This, unfortunately, contains a pesticide illegal in the U.S. called deltamethrin. My parents used to draw all over their house with it 20 years ago. Now I wonder whether my cat is having seizures because she crawled into an old dresser with chalk lines drawn all over its inside.

    Beware of dangerous chalk touted as ‘miraculous’ bug killer

    Q:A friend of mine buys insecticide chalk called Miraculous Insecticide Chalk in Chinatown in San Francisco. I have used it before, and it is, indeed, miraculous. You draw a line around ants, or draw a line as a barrier, and when ants cross it, they die within about 30 seconds. My husband is very concerned about this product because we know nothing about the ingredients, or whether it’s regulated by any environmental standards. Is it safe?

    A: Insecticide chalk should be avoided at all times. This product contains very dangerous pesticides that are illegal in this country. It is illegal to sell.

    You may have seen the chalk in a neighborhood store or sold on the street for about $1 a box. It is mostly imported illegally from China and often bears a label in both English and Chinese. Sometimes the manufacturer claims on the label that the chalk is harmless to human beings and animals and is safe to use. These claims are untrue and dangerous.

    Because insecticide chalk looks just like regular chalk, children often take it in their hands, write with it and put it in their mouths. The active ingredient in it is deltamethrin, which is one of the most toxic pesticides of its kind.

    Many other illegal pesticides are sold on the street and in some small neighborhood stores. All of them should be avoided. Here are some simple rules to follow when looking for a pesticide to use in your home:

    – Look for an Environmental Protection Agency registration number on the container. This number tells you that the EPA has reviewed health and environmental information about the pesticide, and, if the label says so, that the product is OK to use in your home.

    – Look for a list of the active ingredients on the label. Any product registered with the EPA must state the active ingredients.

    – Shop for pesticides only in stores you know and trust. Be suspicious of shoddy or odd packaging.

    Illegal, toxic, and dangerous. See: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=1026725&blobtype=pdf. There are far more effective insect control products, albeit for higher price, but is a few cents/dollars worth your/your children’s health?

    PLEASE! Do not believe the doomsayers! They are paid agents for the pesticide companies, losing money over a simple, safe, and very effective insecticide. Me, my family, my friends, and clients have used it for a very long time, since sold in downtown Chinese stores. Do not let Big Brother (worthless, colluded EPA) or the cancer chemical companies, dictate what you have to use or buy. Do not post stores selling them in the USA to keep the hounds from attacking them. Let every one search the net, ask around, and find them. Stop the New World Odor and it’s agents!

    Speaking of EPA garbage, that oufit REFUSES TO INVESTIGATE the criminal spraying overhead called CHEMTRAILS, by your criminal government: Barium, Aluminum, Titanium, Morgellons disease, polyfibers with LIVE Mycoplasma (deadly microscopic bacteria), and even raw PLANE FUEL. And the all-loving EPA joint? Won’t accept samples from individuals affected or concerned about these continuous sprays. So colluded all, that they are not shown in your local TV Weather broadcasts! C R I M I N A L !! Google: CHEMBUSTERS or CLOUDBUSTERS, and also ignore the nay sayers. They work!

    Hi

    I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I am in desperate need of the Miraculous Insecticide Chalk. Could anyone tell me where I can find it. I know it is dangerous, but it is really the only thing that keeps ants away.
