Can someone tell me how long cats and dogs must be kept out of the area after spraying?

Definitely until the carpets are completely dry, however long that takes. I used several fans to speed the process, kept the dogs in their cage and the cat in the bathroom. The carpets were dry in an hour or so, but I kept them off it for about 4 hours.

No wait. My animals would be right there when I spray. It is water based, will not harm animals or furniture. I mix it with another spray from Walmart, etc. like home defense or something. I spray in and out when the seasons change. The beginning of Spring and Winter. I have had no problems and I had a cat and dog in house with carpet all over. Spray and vacuum daily for about 3 times and then you're good to go. Hope this helps.

About 4 hours, do NOT leave gun unattended or on or near flammable surface (carpet, curtains and so on). And most importantly out of the reach of young children !

It depends on how dry the air is in your home and how many pets are using it, but my three cats' fountain typically needs to be topped off every 3-4 days.

I believe you are supposed to keep pets off for a certain period of hours. Check label or call company if it doesn't have specifics. It will be safe after alotted time

We recommend keeping the dogs from the are when applying the spray. Once it has dried the dogs can be left back in the area.

funny you should ask that- I have 2 cats as well, and I love them like crazy- I only use this product on my sport coats- and i spray them outside, and then usually hang on my shower rod. I wouldn't just douse your apartment/house in this stuff, but you can protect your garments with it- I just wouldn't lay it on the floor where your cats could get to it. In all likelihood, they would be repelled by the smell of it, but why take a chance. And I would wait to wear a garment a couple of days after spraying, just to be safe. If you really have nice wool and/or silk garments, I promise you moths will find them and feast. They especially love silk.

Yep, we put the cats out and then let bombs off, left house for about two or more hrs. I came back opened windows and put ceiling fans on per the instructions and came back in a little later, no smell etc. If they are housecats just put in a carrier in a garage or somewhere. Mine were enjoying their freedom so I left them out about three hrs to make sure it was ok. Hope this helps.

We found it very helpful to keep stray cats off our property. We took a stake and a rag, sprayed the rag and put it on top of the stake. The smell is somewhat of a anise smell. Cats must not like if because they stay away. I can't answer for chipmunks, but I can tell you, since we have used products, we have not seem any chipmunks in the yard and we live on lake front, large property in a wooded area and we have lots of little critters. We love animals and wildlife, but the stray cats would spray on our patio screen because we have 2 cats. They sure were trying to get as close as they can and this was in the winter, so I would say winter, spring, summer and fall, I would recommend this product.

I also don't spray counters and tables. Just furniture, flooring and curtains. My personal dogs as well as endless foster puppies and kittens have walked on the carpet after the spray is dry and have had no ill effect. I keep them off the area for a couple hours after spraying. Since cats/kittens are notorious for being sensitive to products, I don't spray the house unless I remove cats/kittens first OR they stay in one room of the house while I spray, I don't spray that room while they are in there and I let the rest of the house dry and air back out before letting them out of that room.

I have an outside cat who is a roamer. This stuff dries, when sprayed on a sunny day, in about 15-20 minutes. I put some of this herbicide, undiluted, on some freshly cut stumps and it was dry in 30 minutes. Good luck. To me, this stuff is fantastic.

Just do what I did I got the biggest size it would help if u measured it. To get the cats away from it get a dog.

no evacuation needed i let my animals walk on it and have had no problems with my cat or my dog but i can tell you the fleas do not like this stuff.

It is safe to use on your pet and therefore safe for carpets! HOWEVER, if the space is large you should use a bomb and then vacuum it up. I wouldn't have my children on the carpet after it is sprayed. I would recommend vacuum every day and not spray the carpets to keep the chemicals out of the house. Use the Spray for small confined areas that are heavily infested. Wash laundry often. It takes atleast 8 weeks to rid fleas from a house.

I don't really know for sure. I would say over three years. I just emptied my second can and have not started to use my third. I can tell you this, it is far more effective on mean dogs than regular pepper spray but I carry it for the bears so I need the long range stream.

I would recommend NOT putting it on your bed sheets, as your face will be on or very near the poison. Saying that, I sprayed EVERYTHING else--couch, dining room chairs, wood floor, area rugs. I had the problem with fleas in the bed too but once I sprayed the rest of the house, I no longer had fleas in the bed. The poison killed all the fleas. The pets should be out of the room until the spray dries--I'd give it about an hour. You yourself do not need to leave. I think it's just because the pets are closer to the floor where the toxins are being sprayed & they get it on their paws, which they may then lick.
