The Giant Destroyer Smoke Bomb/Gasser does state on the label that it is highly toxic to wildlife. Once it has been placed in a burrow, the hole should be immediately covered and any places where there is visible smoke coming from underground should be covered as well. As long as the holes are covered and there is no smoke leaking out, there should be no issue with using it in the vicinity of bee hives.
The Giant Destroyer should be removed and discarded after use. The smoke is gone in the Giant Destroyer but it is still a non food item and can cause a dog distress if eaten. Please consult with your local vet if you have concerns.
The Giant Destroyer Smoke Bomb/Gasser should only be used in the actual burrows of animals where all holes can be closed off so that they cannot escape.
