Thanks for reaching out! I understand you're looking for some guidance on how to best use our product. To get the best results, here's what you should keep in mind: Keep the area clear: Avoid disturbing the treated area by keeping people and pets off of it until the product has been watered in and the soil is dry. Wait for it to dry: Make sure to stay out of the treated area until it's completely dry. Once dry, it's set: Once the product is dry, it's very difficult to dislodge the residue, so any exposure would be minimal. No reactivation: If the area gets wet again (from rain, dew, or watering) after it has initially dried, the product won't reactivate. Unsure about drying time? If you're not sure how long it takes for the product to dry, it's always a good idea to wait about 24 hours.

Water the product in after application in order to activate the product. Keep pets away from the treated areas until the product has dried; it will then be safe for animals to reenter.

If you're not sure about how long it takes for the product to dry, wait for 24 hrs.
