Archaeology suggests that human ownership of dogs as pets may date back to at least 12,000 years ago.

During indoor pesticide applications, remove all pets from the home or keep them in untreated areas of the home. If you use foggers , always remove all animals from the house. Cover fish tanks to prevent liquid vapors or dusts from entering the tank. Since foggers create a fine aerosol mist, the pesticides may move through all of the air in the home, including the tank pumps and fish tank. You might also consider turning off central heating or air conditioning, which can circulate airborne pesticides.

Never use more than the directions state as this can poison your pet. Dissolving the granules by watering also helps to prevent granules from getting trapped in pet fur or eaten by birds. Since granular products require time for watering and time for the granules to dissolve, these products may require keeping the pets out of treated areas for 24 hours or longer. Check the label directions or call NPIC to determine how long to keep pets out of treated areas. Outside the home, the precautions are similar to those we’ve discussed for other areas.
