A:  Spray pesticides can be harmful if breathed in or if your pet is confined in the space too soon after spraying or walks through a treated area before the product has dried. Products used to eliminate ants from the home are relatively safe for people and pets when care is taken at the time of use.

A:  I have used it in the house, and I have a cat and dog inside. I have never had a problem with my animals being around it.
