When using Ortho Home Defense indoors, it's recommended to keep pets out of the treated area until the surfaces are completely dry to ensure their safety. This usually takes about 1-2 hours, but can vary depending on ventilation and humidity.
- Ensure adequate ventilation in the area to help the product dry faster.
- If possible, use fans to reduce drying time.
- Check the treated surfaces with a paper towel to ensure they are dry before allowing pets to roam freely.
It's important to prevent pets from interacting with the damp product as it can cause irritation or potential toxicity if ingested. Following these guidelines helps protect your pets from exposure to chemicals that may not yet be safe for them.
