While pesticides are helpful substances used to protect your property from termites, rodents, and other pests, they can be harmful to you, your family, or your pets if they are misused. Pesticides are chemical-based substances that can cause health issues or reactions if they are not utilized properly. If you’re wondering, “Are pesticides safe after they dry?”, the answer is that most are safe once dried. It is important to note that while many pesticides are safe after they dry, this does not apply to all pesticides.
In regard to lawn care pesticides and your pets, these pesticides are safe once dried. Lawn chemicals and pesticides are known to stay on the grass for a minimum of 48 hours after the treatment. On an important note, during the first few days after the application, make sure that you wipe down your pets’ paws and coats before allowing them to enter the house. Also, ensure that your pets do not eat the grass after pesticide treatment.
Precautions to Keep You Safe
Certain pesticides require more in-depth safety precautions. These safety measures can include:
- Carefully containing or removing sensitive items within your property
- Only applying the pesticide in well-ventilated areas
- Ensuring that you do not saturate the treatment area with the pesticide

Ensuring the Safe Use of Pesticides
Pesticide substances are from different concentrations and mixtures of harmful chemicals to the pest that they treat. At the minimum, you should avoid any treated areas until the pesticide has dried. However, different pesticides have their own set of directions for safe use. Our pest and termite control specialists at A-1 Bonded Termite will provide instructions at the time of treatment.
