What is the human toxicity level of pastes and gels?

• A. Unknown toxicity
• B. High human toxicity
• C. Moderate toxicity
• D. Low human toxicity

Answer: (D)

Pastes and gels are designed to minimize human exposure by delivering the active ingredient in a thick, viscous form that stays where it’s applied (behind appliances, in cracks, or in bait stations) and is not easily dispersed through air or handled. This targeted, contained design reduces the likelihood of incidental contact or ingestion by people, so the human toxicity is considered low when products are used as directed. Always follow label directions and keep out of reach of children and pets, but the overall safety profile for typical paste and gel formulations is low toxicity.
