Hello, Is this safe to put in the front yard if my cat goes outside? I wouldn't want him to get worms?Thanks!Angela

Should be safe. nematodes eat the larva in the ground. They shouldn't give your cat worms.

According to what it says on the instructions there are no dangers/hazards to domestic animals; only to the targeted grubs & pests. There are far worse parasites out there, but if in doubt, check with your vet to be certain

Perfectly safe. These aren't the same types of worms that infect your animals. They only go after the insects in your soil.

If your cat will not chew on the extension cord it may be safe. I would advise using an outdoor orange heavy duty extension cord.

My cat was rolling it all over and yes - he was pushing it into open closets and under things. To resolve I took a thick rope about 10 feet long and tied a knot in it. Before I feed him I put the rope down and make a circle with it. I then place his ball filled with food inside the circle. Now he can only move it around inside the circle - it would take more strength then he's willing to expend to get it outside. Once he's done eating (about an hour) I pick up the empty ball and hang the rope in the closet. Problem solved! This little thing is awesome - wish I had found it years ago.

Cat will be able to go under it and possibly scratch it to pieces. This is more for insect protection

I really don't know about your cat. We use our soaker to keep squirrels from climbing up the screen around our patio. It is not harmful but they do not like the spray. It shoots out a spray somewhat like the shower. If you sprayed it all in one spot, it would probably make a puddle. If you are trying to give your cat a bath, the cat would probably scratch you and tell you it doesn't like baths. I find it hard to envision what you plan to do. Best advice is send your cat to the vet for a bath and pick up a nice clean cat later. Use your soaker to play water spray games when the weather is hot. I am very allergic to cats!

This risk is really minimum. I have 3 cats and they are all outside/inside cats. Works great this product.

I think that's a wonderful idea for an elderly cat! Our feral outdoor cat loves his. If we ever succeed in bringing him inside, the house will come, too.

A cat (or an umbrella, or a fork) will do damage to this fabric. Of my two cats, one left it alone (she likes scratching horizontal surfaces) and the other shredded a large part of the fabric (she likes clawing vertical surfaces).Still, if you can provide your kitty with an alternate scratching area and spray this down with something she doesn't like (mine doesn't like the smell of pet stain remover, for instance) you should be OK. But hell it's only $50.

I keep it outside on the shaded side of my patio, it doesn't have an odor, and the worms are thriving, even in 100 degree heat. There eating like crazy. I feed them vegetable pulp from my juicer every three day. There are these nats crawling around in the dirt, but was told this was normal. I made my own worm farm from plastic tubs, and have added a second tub stacked on the first one,due to the worms multiplying so fast. I hope this helps you.

The product is listed as non toxic. I have indoor/outdoor cats and they didn't seem to be affected in any way when I scattered this product around the yard.

I have red worms growing in mine without any issues, but I'm not sure. Might be worth asking the manufacturer? Walmart sells it too but I never found any locally which is why I ordered it from Amazon.

That is not good news! We use it on our dog who is outside a lot and exposed to ticks. The cat is an indoor cat but he could always picksomething up from the dog. Guess we won't order that again.Did you contact the company? That shouldn't be happening.

I would consult with your Vet and conduct a google search. My Vet did prescribe this for my kitten when she was 3 months old to ensure she didn't have worms.

From the way I read this it would not be harmful to my cats. I would not eat it myself. This product worked with my being very tenasious about putting it where they were, on carpets, along baseboards etc. I also rub it on the side of furniture. Bed bugs crawl on it and then they dry up. I also was very deligent on getting white sheets so that i could kill them as I saw them also. Took some time but I saved myself about $1000.00 because an exterminator would of had to heat the whole home!!!!

Do you mean you want to add it to your compost pile for gardening? It is made from corn so I suppose it is possible but I wouldn't want used cat litter in my compost pile.

Absolutely, this is not an outdoor bed. It is for indoor use only. The bed has a heating pad that is activated when the cat lays in it, and warms enough to make them cozy. My cat is hard to get out of this bed, but I would never put it outside for him. They do have other beds that can be used outside and they are waterproof. I don't think this one is, in any case I wouldn't trust it to be.

Not that I read but is safe around them. I would spray bedding areas and wait 15 minutes before putting cat back. Spray around inside house, also. And go online to Orange guard website.
