Given the choice of inhaling carcinogenic particles that may preserve 
the roof or treating the roof against rot with a product of proven 
efficacy and little adverse affect on humans I'd opt for a targeted 
use of the insecticide and a preservative.

What I wouldn't advocate is the return to area fogging uncontrolled 
use of the persistant chemical.
