they are looking into the pesticide in question as being methyl bromide, which is NOT for indoor use.
Quoting: beeches In the USA its not for ANY use anymore. Phased out completely in 2005. We used to fumigate/sterilize prepared soil under plastic with that stuff. It will kill any living thing. [ link to www.epa.gov] Thanks. They must be very sick indeed. The article I quoted said they were considering that as the pesticide used in the condo. I've only ever seen it as a gas. Put plastic down on plowed rows and inject the gas under the plastic and you kill everything in the soil at least as deep as you plowed. Wait one week and plant into holes in the plastic. Often strawberries. But now other chemicals are used or even just steam. for home gardeners, just the heat buildup under the plastic is supposed to work - I'v never tried this.
