Pest Control Foggers Are Likely Cause of Death of SC Infant

Pest control foggers are likely the cause of death of a South Carolina infant. The infant’s mother and 2 year old brother were also injured and  hospitalized due to the fumes.

This seems to be the story of a Mom who was only trying to improve her family’s living conditions without realizing the jeopardy she was putting her family in.  Sadly, her efforts resulted in the death of her 10 month old son.

Investigators said the mother, Elizabeth Whitfield, used 2 to 3  pest control foggers a week in her single wide mobile home hoping to rid it of bugs.
