MSDS's are not for consumer use.  See our discussions at

http://www.ilpi.com/msds/faq/parta.html#whofor
http://www.ilpi.com/msds/faq/partb.html#downstream
http://www.ilpi.com/msds/faq/partb.html#myrights

See the middle of that last link for information about retail stores like Home Depot.

As far as MSDS's for pesticides go, we have a list of some general and specific sites for pesticide MSDS's and labels.  The first two under this section are particularly useful: http://www.ilpi.com/msds/index.html#Pesticides

What can I say, it's summer so I have time to catch up on some things that have been building.

How does it work if a bug killing company (removing termites or whatever) applies something in a household, and then gives an MSDS to the home owners?  While I appreciate that they are warning them of the hazards, what is the reason for doing such a thing?  Are they required to warn people of the hazards, and are people expected to understand what these documents mean?  I don't remember ever receiving an MSDS when I bought something from a hardware store (though I know I could get one, and of course I would know what it means, but I don't think my dad would - but he would know who to ask).

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.  I have been asked a question on this and wanted to know some thoughts.

Thanks so much

Dave (again)
