Fumigation of hotel premises: is it harmful ?

metalresearcher - 25-2-2012 at 04:10

During our stay (my gf and me) in Sanur, Bali we noted that every Saturday at 18:00 the hotel is fumigated, which is rather common practice in (sub) tropical countries. But mosquitos still appear in our room. So is it not more harmful than useful ?

Here I filmed the fumigation session of today:

Without fumigation, the mosquitos would want to you commit suicide, trust me. :D

Well, it depends. What pesticide do they use?

I'm sure it is only slightly carcinogenic.

If you didn't want your DNA rewritten, you should have checked in to a cheaper hotel.

Is there is still time for before and after pictures of you?

Have a good night's sleep, but don't look into the mirror.
