Pet-Safe Pest Control: What We Do Around Dogs and Cats

Pets share the same floors and cabinets we treat, so we plan around them before any product goes down.

Our approach

Before treatment

  • We ask about every pet in the home
  • You may relocate pets briefly during application
  • We note food bowls, beds, and favorite resting spots to keep clear

During treatment

  • We use low-mammal-toxicity products where the label allows
  • Applications go to cracks, crevices, and entry points
  • We avoid spraying pet bedding and open food bowls

After treatment

  • We give dry times before pets return to treated rooms
  • We ventilate treated areas
  • We leave written re-entry notes when needed

Habits at home

  • Store pet food in sealed bins
  • Wipe spills around bowls daily
  • Vacuum pet areas on a regular schedule
  • Wash bedding weekly

Products to keep away from pets

  • Mothballs
  • Whole-home foggers
  • Concentrated sprays applied broadly in living areas
  • Rodent bait blocks accessible to dogs or cats

Our technicians train on pet-aware placement. Talk with our team about residential pest control that fits your household. We serve families across Orlando, Doctor Phillips, and Maitland.
