  • Asked by Mick from Mckinney, Texas
    06/19/2015
    Q
    Is Bonide Systemic Insect Control safe to use around pets?
    The restrictions on the label states "Do not apply this product in a way that will contact people or plants." Common sense is I would not spray directly on person or pet. But it is the product safe after it drys on the soil and leaves? Our cat loves to sleep under the rose brushes. Can't be too careful.
    A
    Bonide Systemic Insect Control is pet and people safe once dry.  Pets and people should be out of the area until it is dry.

    Q
    Is the Bonide Systemic Insect Control ok to use inside with indoor animals? Does it harm animals?
    And it's ok to spray inside while it doesn't harm humans breathing it in? Thanks.
    A

    Bonide Systemic Insect Control should only be used outdoors around roses, flowers, ornamentals, shrubs and shade trees. Hi Yield Indoor Outdoor 10% Permethrin would be a better option for indoor and outdoor use for many insects. Be sure not to apply while animals are in the area. Once the product has dried completely, it is safe for pets to return to the area. This will last 30 days outdoors and 90 days indoors.
