Hey guys I need to release this fumigator in my room because I had a spawn of flying black bugs with white wings I believe they were dormant in my old coco mat (I try to reside but I should have know not too) it was sitting in the garage for too long.

I'm just wondering if I really need to turn off my pilots if I have the inline fans going pulling the fumes out as it releases

(The water heater and furnace are down there but behind doors and behind the panda film I have up)
I would never smoke your weed if you use anything like that. I would buy a painters suit for $5 and put on goggles/mask and use pepper spray on it all. then follow with dish soap/neem/pepper mix in a soil/res drench. I am sorry but these are buds not tomatoes that can be rinsed off. You might want to do the wash your buds in Hydorgen Peroxide then make all hash. I still wouldn't smoke it. This is just my opinion and how I am.

you still have to hit your plants with something that is gonna kill all larva (pepper spray/neem oil/dish soap) in the soil and hit the leaves with just pepper spray. I am happy to hear you are not setting that off with plants in the room.

I'd put up a hot shot no pest strip instead of a fogger. I'd imagine a fogger would leave residue everywhere. Just my opinion.

Can anyone give me advice on how long before you can plant a fresh seed?

let it air dry 2 weeks in an area that is just room light not next to a window in the sun or put it in the dark. after that freeze it with rice for 1 week. the rice will help freeze burn. then take it and grow it. that is what I have done so far and worked everytime(advise from an old seed planter).

Ok cool I'll give that a try. I tried to germ a seed on friday and it still hasn't sprouted by today, so I put it in water and it sank right away, then I scuffed it with sandpaper and put it back in the paper towel :p I figure because it's a new seed it isn't giving me the 48hr germ time like I usually get so I knew something was wrong :p

the seed has to dry then freezing acts like nature the seed hits ground dries and then it goes threw winter. The freezing part can be fridge but freezing worked. every seed I get I do that too pop and the ones I dont do not all pop. So it works.

right on, I think they are dry, it's been over a week since they've been laying around, I just popped them in the freezer. There's not many so I'm hoping I get a good germ rate 8-) the freezer makes sense, kind of like initiating winter time. Thanks brotha!

Do not use the hot shot strips in your house, they are toxic and it will migrate to other parts of the house.
follow old mans advice

I would wait a couple of weeks to let the seed harden...refrigeration helps.

:peace:

residue was left but me and the lady just did a top to bottom clean on it air dried with fresh air, and inline fans sucking air out... the pest were mostly in the mat but I was just making extra sure... but have new coco mat in place and will be bringing ladies back in from the other room

The chemicals in the no pest strips are water soluable, so if it's in a confined area they're safe, but all exhaust should be turned off and I'd reccomend having no plants in the room. Then after the strips are taken down you can use a spray bottle with water and any residue would be gone 100% with water contact. It also breaks down 100% in a couple months, so never use them in flowering ever because the Dichlorvos will not have time to break down and can be trapped inside the buds in parts the water can not reach. Hope this helps 8-)

Edit: Here's my sources for using it safely-

CDC link > http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaqs/tf.asp?id=596&tid=111

"The major effect of dichlorvos is on the nervous system. Studies on people who were exposed to dichlorvos by breathing air in the workplace containing low levels of dichlorvos have not shown any harmful effects. Animal studies have shown that breathing high levels can cause nervous system effects.

Ingesting large doses may cause nausea and vomiting, restlessness, sweating, and muscle tremors, while very large doses may cause coma, inability to breathe, and death. Animal studies have also shown effects on the nervous system when animals drank water or ate food containing dichlorvos.

It is not known whether dichlorvos can affect reproduction or cause birth defects in people.

Animal studies have not reported effects on reproduction or birth defects when animals were exposed to dichlorvos."

"
  • It evaporates easily into the air, where it is broken down into less harmful chemicals.
  • It will dissolve in water, where microorganisms can break it down.
  • It takes about 24–36 hours for half of the chemical to be broken down in water.
  • Dichlorvos does not appear to accumulate in plants, fish, or animals."
