Since this is over the list, Marilyn, I will reply over the list.  He 
modified the can to release when a weight was pulled off.  This is no longer 
necessary I am told as you can now buy chemical "bombs" that are time 
released.  That is, the chemical is not released for a short so you can get 
out of the room.  Another alternative says husband is to mask your face with 
a painter's respirator and run quickly.  We have purchased what we needed 
(flea killer ) from an exterminator in our area. They have the time release 
products for one source.  This type of treatment was 100% successful until 
the fur treatment was offered by the veterinarian. Since that has been around 
the "bombs" are no longer necessary for fleas.

I haven't searched this year for insecticide "bombs" but probably will before 
the winter is over.
