Is PetArmor Home and Carpet Spray safe around my pets?

I recently purchased PetArmor Home and Carpet Spray to help with a flea issue in our home. However, I'm a bit cautious because I want to make sure it's safe to use around our pets. Before I start spraying it on our carpets, could you tell me if it poses any risks to them, or if there are specific precautions I should take?

Answer

PetArmor Home and Carpet Spray can be effective against fleas, but it's important to use it safely around pets. Before using the spray, taking precautions to prevent exposure can help ensure your pet's health is not compromised.

  • Read and follow all instructions on the product label carefully.
  • Remove pets from the area before spraying and ensure the product is completely dry before allowing them to return.
  • Ventilate the space by opening windows or using fans during application.
  • Store the product out of reach of pets and children.

Using flea sprays correctly reduces the risk of respiratory issues, skin irritation, or accidental ingestion, which can be harmful to pets. Ensuring the sprayed area is dry and well-ventilated before allowing pets back into the space can significantly minimize health risks.

If you have further concerns or specific questions about using flea control products safely, please book a consultation with Dial A Vet for personalized advice.
