Do you have evacuate your home for the several days you use this product? Can you still continue letting your animals walk on it?

This has a great smell to it - I left it on for 30 min then vacuumed - did not have to evacuated the home. it works great, but I did not have a problem where I would have needed to bomb the home. Hope that helps.

I put the cats in a large bathroom while I used the product. They did walk on it a few times and I washed their paws. No one got sick.

they say have animals out of house when u put it down - let set for 2 hrs at least or more and then need to vaccum - don't let cats walk on it or be in area

No. I use it safely around the house around my children and my pets. Just be certain to use it when it's dry, not too windy and don't walk through what you already sprayed and then walk through your lawn. You will definitely leave footprints in your lawn that you don't want!

This is for "non-occupied areas, such as attics, garages, storage lockers and crawl spaces". Home Depot gives a little more of what's on the packaging : www.homedepot.com/buy/hot-shot-229-oz-no-pest-insect-strip-hg-5580-6.html#specifications There is a note on the packaging as well that says it should not be in any areas where people will be for 3-4+ hours. As pets are breathing and living too I include them in with this caution.

Given my reading of the chemicals and side effects thereof, I wouldn't want my dogs walking on any residue and then licking their paws. But really, the smell alone would probably send any dog running to the nearest dung pile to get rid of it.

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. 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.

Ive only used on the outside fence, not on the inside. The dogs seemed fine with it as it has district smell. I actually liked it but I'm sure its not good for you. Ive only had one rattle snake since I used it, and two rodent snakes. Very small ones. Seems to help a little.

Yes. I walk around while they are applied. I don't go for a long walk, but if I need to go to the bathroom or check the door. I haven't found a problem. I try not to walk directly on the pad but like I said haven't found a problem with it

My dog and I were both attached a couple of times. I have a small dog so I picked her up and sprayed the other dog, he retreated and I got away. The sad part about this was that the owner of the dog pretended not to see the attack and ran inside his house leaving his dog in the middle of the street. I wish I had the chance to pepper spray the owner too ;) But yes, it's safe just keep yourself and your dog away.

I have two 25-30 LB dogs and neither had a problem. I only sprayed this outside the house, but in the fences in area the dogs are let out in. Neither had any problems, I didn't let them out for a few hours after spraying. I would still watch your dog around it for the first few days to make sure they don't take interest in it. If they start licking the sprayed surfaces I would assume it would make them sick.

I wouldn't because it's got a strong scent. We leave the house for a couple hours when using.

I could not say for sure because we had to clean up same day of use. I could not recommend this product to be used around people or pets. The first time I used it indoors around the perimeter of living room and kitchen. The strong smell made my gf and all our pets sick and vomit. After using baking soda to soak up the product that was sprayed then wiping up with wet paper towels the smell was still there after a week. Even with the smell we noticed a few spiders in the area where we sprayed in that same week. Please beware!!

Hi Barb! I have unfortunately had to us this a few times...I try to bring it with me every time I walk my dog and I live in a very rural area. However some people do not obey the leash law our town has with dogs. On a few different occasions my dog and I were approached by dogs that were "loose" and unaccompanied by an adult...WELL...my HALT came in very useful! The dogs retreated away from us... and we were able to not be harmed in what could have been an ugly situation. I hope this helps you! :)

OMG YES! We had a 'FENCE CLIMBER!' and the very first time he got zapped? It rocked his World. He didn't know WHAT hit him! I cowered in his kennel for 2 days. Then he tried it again. ZAP! Again...cowered a day in his kennel. After that? We left it on for a week, then disconnected it. He had ZERO desire to hop that fence. If you are going to use it for coyotes, I'd leave it on 24/7 due to them roaming and you're not going to be able to teach just one that is place is 'Off limits'. Would I recommend this product? YES!!!

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

no, my doggie has used it for quite a while (as have my friend's dog) and the results are always good, the do not get immune; and actually the results seem better as time goes by. I think that is because we have learned to put the shirts on them at the VERY FIRST hint of a storm, and doing that early, really helps. The problem is if you wait too long to put the shirt on, if the storm is full blown, then even with the shirt, the dogs have a hard time calming down.

If you are paying attention and brace yourself, you should be ok, but yes, it will burn you if caught off guard. When I play with my dogs using it, I really have to pay attention to where my feet are. Where I've been burned is on my leg, and so far only once. I think rope burn or a cut is going to be an issue with any material when dealing with excited and strong dogs. I'm satisfied with the product, as with any product or activity, the human must pay attention.
