I did some research on Fipronil, active ingredient in the gel tubes I always get.
It is extremely safe for people, cats, and dogs. the .01% concentration was 100% effective. The amount in a full tube would not harm you if you ate it all.
An $8 tube was enough to squirt a little in every crack and corner inside and out in a 1600sf house and still have 1/3 left over.
