Discovering unwanted vermin manifesting inside the house is no homeowner’s idea of fun. Pests like termites, roaches, and fleas are quick to multiply and spread in different corners of your house. While calling an extermination service is the right step to take, you may be worried about the impact of pest control products on indoor pets. In this scenario, it helps to keep the following tips in mind to ensure safety for your furry friends and other house pets.

Pest Control Safety Tips for Pets

1. Consult the Pest Removal Expert

Before hiring an exterminator, ask them about the products they use to address pest invasion inside the premises. You can consult them about precautions and steps that will protect your animal friends from any issues with the pesticides. This may include knowing how soon after treatment your pets are safe to be near treated areas. 

2. Find a Safe Spot for Your Pets

It doesn't take long for cats and dogs to become an integral part of your family. However, the four-legged friends also tend to be curious about activities going on in the house. Curious by nature, they may take upon themselves to find out what’s going on and cause disruption in the treatment area. One option is to send them to a pet daycare until the exterminator is done, or contain them in an unaffected area to keep them away from the situation.

3. Shield Smaller Animals Properly

Smaller pets like birds, hamsters, and fish also need protection from the fumes pest control products can leave behind. As a precautionary measure, keep their cages and tanks properly covered with a thin blanket while the extermination services are underway. If you still have questions about these pets’ sensitivities, consult your veterinarian before the extermination service occurs.
