Donna from Corning, Ny writes

Will birds be harmed if eating insects that have died from spraying Ortho Home Defense MAX Insect Killer Indoor & Perimeter?

I get that the spray - once dry - is not a problem to birds, but want to know if the insects that "acquire" the poison are then toxic to birds who may eat them.

Answer:

Both of the active ingredients in Ortho Home Defense MAX Insect Killer Indoor & Perimeter with Comfort Wand, Bifenthrin & Cypermethrin have a low toxicity to birds according to the National Pesticide Information Center
