    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.
