Is Pest Control Hurting Your Dogs?

by admin

When most people see a bug in their house, they take action and spray bug poison or set traps for the insects.  But can this do any damage to your dog or pets?  This something most people may not consider when following through with their bug extermination plans.

Unfortunately, most insect poison is dangerous to both insects and animals (go figure).  For example, people will use the chemical boric acid to take care of ant problems or to get rid of silverfish and it’s been proven that boric acid is dangerous towards pets.

So what should you do if you are about to spray your house for bugs?  You can easily prevent any negative things from happening towards your dogs or your pets by thinking ahead.  Start by collecting all of your dog’s toys, blankets, beds, etc. and put them in a place that will not be in contact with the bug poison.  Next be sure to put up your dog’s food and water bowl.  Finally, take your dog outside or to a place that is poison free until it’s safe for you to go back into your home.

By taking these steps you will help to prevent your dog from getting sick from bug poison while at the same time taking care of your insect problems.
