Fipronil is very safe, especially in the dilute form used as a spray. The warnings on the label are for the concentrate, and even then they are overblown. NOBODY goes to a medical center just because they get some on their skin. It's a shame that these cautions are so overreactive as we get complacent with all chemicals then.

There is no danger at all to working in treated area. I would still wait several weeks simply to have undisturbed treated areas available to the ants.

We used approx 2 gallons of dilute spray around the perimeter of average houses, so you can see how little you would be exposed to, even if you got into all of it. Hope this helps.

It does, thanks--I'm waiting a couple of weeks to do the work because as you say, I want the treatment to affect the colonies that are resulting in ants in my house... but otherwise I plan to just take my usual precautions...
