Worried about the pesticide I sprayed.?

Question

last night i was up late and I noticed a couple bugs under the door. I'm a clean freak so it totally freaked me out. I pulled off the board under the door and it was kind of gross and there was a crack the bugs were crawling through. I scrubed out the dirt and sprayed it.The pesticide is suppose to be safe after it's dry but now I'm worried about it because I have have a baby, kittens and a puppy running around. I'm usually a really natural person and the only reason I had pesticide was my fiance bought it without asking me. Is there anything natural I can use next time? Should I be really worried about the crack I sprayed under the door? I don't even want my daughter to go near it.

ok  go back  and wash the area  around your door  ..  yes there is  a residue  now over there.  you wash with  soap adn water so little fingers  and paws  that do touch it wont  be affected.   those bugs  you found  were attracted  to the debris that collected there  and perhaps  moisture  as well.  a spray of vinegar  is a better idea  now thats its cleaned to keep bugs at bay.
