Hilary, Maybe we can come up with pest control that can get rid of those pesty social workers. Assuming that the pest control service that you hired is reputable I can not see any reason for you to expose yourself to insecticide whether it is toxic or not. Are these the same social workers who took your kids away and your social security benefits. You might want to contact their supervisor- and get one more opinion about the fleas first. I think that you might have a case for harassment if they continue to demand that you have flea extermination done if 2 exterminators say in writing that there are no fleas.
