Yard chemicals
My worry is what the effect on our OES might be. Anyone had a negative experience with their dog and yard chemicals? We can certainly keep Shayleigh out of the yard for a day or two after spraying but how long must that continue? Any ideas? Last thing I want is a sick pooch. |

| We have done our yard with diazanon. We used the granules instead of spray. If you are using granules water the grass first, then put on granules, wait for a good hot day and water in thoroughly. Once it dries the Shayleigh can go play outside.
With spray, leave on for 1-2 days. Then water in thoroughly. My husband worked in lawn care for the first year of our marriage. Diazinon is getting hard to find, so you might need to try a different type. I would call the 1-800 number of the product you use to make sure she is protected. Our 2 have never had a problem, I even have one cat that goes out on harness. He loves it so even he has went out 2 days after using and he was also fine. Good luck with everything. Stormi and co. |
| I use Ortho Bug Be Gone on my yard (granules). Just put it down, spray with water to dampen,and when the yard is dry, it's safe for your pet. |
| Hi Brenda,
Let me know how it works. Diazinon (I think I am using a really wrong spelling,LOL) is running out here, and since we can't get anymore, we need to figure out something else that works. I got bit by a spider a couple of months ago and it was so painful for around a month. We have spiders everywhere this year and not to mention the other creepy crawlies. Yuck! Jack isn't happy with us, he LOVES eating bugs. He will pounce just like a cat and use his paws to knock it out of the air and chomp away. It is disgusting, but at least the cats taught him something useful. LOL Thanks, Stormi |
Last year, I only had to put it down about once amonth. Works pretty well, but you need to do it on a dry day, so it won't get washed off. This year, I'm needing to do it more often, about every 2 weeks. We had a lot of rain and flooding this spring, so the bugs are NASTY! Plus...I don't think my neighbors treat their yard. I have to keep the yard bug-free for the dogs AND the daycare kids. Sepecially now that they've found West Nile virus in Iowa...  |
