Ah yes, spray that bug spray over food; in your baby's face; around the furbabies! It's the "safety insecticide"! Mr. Slug-a-bug CEO would you mind while I spray this above your dinner? Oh you do? Around your chirruns? Oh you mind that? What about around Fido? Wow, what a strongly worded NO that was! Huh, so the general public can do that but you don't want it done to you. Seems legit.

Interesting. A 1966 report says that Slug-a-Bug contained pyrethrins (a naturally occurring insecticide derived from chrysanthemums) and piperonyl butoxide (a synthetic synergist that has no insecticidal properties, but enhances the effectiveness of insecticides it's used with.)

Surely better than the DDT which was in wide use in those days, but I still wouldn't use it to flavor my kid's pablum.
