How soon can my pet go on the lawn after fire ant treatment?

Hello. Most sprays are safe for pets once the spray has dried, or has been watered into the lawn. I would be sure there are no food or water bowls that might have been sprayed. Either toss them or wash in hot soapy water. The same goes for any chew toys out there. But generally, once a spray has dried, or the area has been watered down & allowed to dry, pets can roam freely, again. The only concerns would be if your dog eats a lot of grass, or finds something to chew on that was left out & sprayed, so keep an eye out for this. It might also be a good idea just to wipe paws off with a damp paper towel once they are ready to come back indoors. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

That would not hurt. But, if he is doing OK, you can try giving 1.5 tablets of the children's 12.5 MG tablet benadryl to help with histamine release. If he begins to swell, have hives, or trouble breathing, he would need to go in.

I'm sorry Chloe hasn't been acting herself lately. Without knowing the specific behaviors she is showing, I can't say for certain if it is due to the Sergeants flea and tick squeeze on. I can say that it's not a high quality product, and you will not get the best results with it. I will give you the flea treatment program I recommend, and it contains products I used on my own animals with great success. Because she has been acting strange for the past several days, I would have her seen by a vet first thing in the morning. If she is having convulsions, trembling, not eating, has excessive drooling, and/or is very lethargic than I would not wait until the morning. In this case, I would take her into an ER vet right away; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Good luck, I hope this helps! Flea treatment program: First, I would give Chloe Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home.

Hello. This really depends on the product used. Some allow pets out immediately, some require watering in, while others are safe after the product has dried ( if sprayed on ). In most cases, it should be safe to allow your cat out a full 24 hours after a product has been applied, & this may be the safest regardless of which product was used.

Hi and thanks for your request. Unfortunately bob martin products are often ineffective and I had bad feedback from many clients. I would recommend to have a prescription product applied. Here is a list of good quality flea treatment. Spot ons: Revolution, Advantage, Advantage Multi, Bravecto spot on, Comfortis. A good house spray would be Indoorex.

Topical products can take a few hours to absorb into the skin. If applied more to the fur than skin it may take a bit longer. Ideally I would leash walk them until the area appears dry to look and touch to prevent them from rubbing it off, or getting dirt caked in the application spot.

An immediate veterinary check up is needed IMMEDIATELY. There is no antidote for indoxacarb poisoning and treatment consists in preventing further exposure together with supportive and symptomatic measures.
