I am sorry, but you sound naive. It is not unusual at all for the leases for single family home rentals to say that insect control is the tenant's responsibility; and if a landlord has insect treatments that he has found to be effective, I think it is pretty darn generous for him to give some to the tenants instead of them having to buy them (which the lease actually says they are responsible for)...and of course, you tell them to read the labels and ask questions.

So many tenants are inexperienced in how to upkeep homes because they are used to being in rentals. Nudging them in the right direction is to their benefit as well as the landlords.

Why would you assume that a landlord would give commercial grade chemicals instead of those purchased at a store? I agree that giving this sort of thing to tenants even with a warning is not a good idea. These types of chemicals do tend to have a much higher chance of causing injury if not handled properly (such as by a licensed pro).

And where are you getting your information regarding a 1 to 2 gallon cap on distribution of all pesticides? I bet the farmers would be quite surprised by your information.
