Question from Mario Carrillo

Dear Debra,

As you know,nowadays MANY PESTICIDES DO NOT HAVE A SMELL, AS THEY USE OTHER/MORE CHEMICALS TO DISGUISE THE ” TYPICAL PESTICIDE SMELL” FROM THE NEAR PAST so, to look for a place ” that doesnt have a pesticide smell”, will not be a safe option.

Debra’s Answer

I agree that some pesticides now are odorless. However, looking for a place that doesn’t have a pesticide smell at least eliminates those with obvious pesticides.

I always find out if pesticides are being used or have been used if that information is available as well.
