And also what will happen if my dogs lick or chew themselves after application when wet and when dried?
The Permethrin SFR 36.8% Insecticide Product Label states under the PPE section:
All other mixers, loaders, applicators, and other handlers must wear:
- Long-sleeve shirt and pants,
- Shoes plus socks, and
- Chemical-resistant gloves for all handlers except for applicators using motorized ground equipment,
- Chemical-resistant apron for mixers/loaders, persons cleaning equipment, and person exposed to the concentrate and for handlers performing animal dip applications.
In general you should try to keep the animal from excessively licking or biting at themselves after an application. If you can set aside a little time after the application to be in the animals area and keeping an eye on them while they dry out and the product absorbs, that would be ideal. There isn't a way to completely keep an animal from gaining access to some on their bodies, and to an extent this has been taken into account for by the manufacturer in these types of applications. If you have any concerns about your specific animals health or safety when using the product on them, we'd recommend contacting the manufacturer directly or discussing the treatment with your vet prior to use and application.
