Niban Granular Bait is very safe to use around children and pets. The 95% other ingredients are just food products, which is the part of the bait that attracts the insects to where you apply the bait for them to eat. The 5% boric acid is the only part of the bait that kills the insect. It is only strong enough to kill a small insect. When you broadcast Niban as directed, there is not enough of it in one place to attract a pet and should cause no problems. Many pest control companies use Niban Bait as part of their natural pest control program because it is such a safe and easy to use product.
