Excellent, Marco. This is a good example of the pro-activity that we need. You are right about PWP's being preoccupied with other things. Just managing from day to day can be a real challenge. On-line recently I saw black light photos showing the amount of chemical residue left on clothing and such things as play ground equipment and tracked in on shoes and so forth after both aerial spraying and regular home chemical applications. Shocking amounts of unseen residue clinging to everything. Pretty awful. Not visible to the naked eye but clearly visible under black light. I have tried to find that link to post it but unsuccessful so far. I'll keep looking. Keep up the good work. This is something that needs to be addressed.
