Can this be used indoors? How about in the basement or inside a garage?

I only used it outside against the foundation of the house. When I applied it it made me dizzy! EcoSmart has another very mild product but I haven't found it yet sold OTC--the pest companies use it for the inside if you ask for "natural/organic".

It is considered to be safe. It has a nice scent but could be overpowering in the house. I would for sure use it in a garage and possibley a basement if it has decent ventilation. It is a fantastic product!

We do. It has the consistency of dry sweep/cat litter. We have window buckets into our basement I put it in, our wood room, and our rarely used fire exit. Creates a barrier & has cut down with the use of the spray they also have ( :

I would think it could be used indoors as well. Its a very well made product if your considering it.

I have mine hanging in the basement, so definitely fine for inside. We have it connected to a ceiling beam in the basement. I suggest a good 4ft radius around it. If I had the room in a bedroom, it think I would have no problems with having it there. It would probably get a lot more use!

My husband seems to think it's only for indoor use. Sorry not exactly sure. We ended up buying one similar at Home Depot. Sorry for the delay in aswering your question I did not see this in my e-mail.

It can be used indoors. We use it in our shop but it is an evaporative cooler. So it cools by putting moisture into the air.The good thing is that there is no compressor so it uses little power but I would only use it outside or in an industrial building you could not really use it indoors in a house there would be moisture issues.

MLH, as I read on the instructions the device should only be used outdoors. It does have a gaseous odor so we don't think it would be wise for use indoors. The lantern would probably be effective in the garage if it was properly well ventilated but I would have to refer you back the instructions which also doesn't recommend indoor use. The lanterns seem to work better than the portable and they don't attract mosquitoes but repel them. We use the lanterns on our back deck in the summer and they seem to work well but you have to activate them about 15 mins before you plan on enjoying the outdoors. Hope this helps.

It can be used in the home but will still only cool to the manufacturer's noted square footage. I do use mine in the garage where an A/C would not make sense because of the cost and cooling loss. I would only use it in the house for brief periods as it does add moisture into the air (making it more humid inside), would only drop the inside temp a little as compared to outside temps, and it is a bit loud for indoors. No complaints on its function in my garage where it has kept it very cool for the price. Hope that helps.

I purchased one awhile back, but for my garage, indoors. However, I am sure you could use it under and eve, but I am not sure I would have it exposed to the elements, ie rain / snow getting in it, you may be asking for bigger problems.

I suppose it "could" be used indoors, but it has a totally patio/deck look. It's so comfortable, though, that I might consider setting it up in the basement during the winter! ;)

It can absolutely be used in a basement, that is where I use mine. I don't know however, about crawl-spaces.

It could be used indoors. It's lightweight, but be mindful of ceiling height.

I use mine in the garage(florescent lighting) and in the basement. I have had no problems. I hear a lot of negatives on the base sound. I don't have that problem at all. The sound is great and very simple to operate and it is rugged. Based on my experience, I would recommend this radio.

We use it indoors in our garage. It works great. Sorry but not sure about outside.

I have not used it in a demanding evironment as of yet. This is exclusive use indoors in a basement woodshop.

It can not be used outside where temps go below freezing. However, it can be used inside as in a basement.
