Fortunately, there are several alternatives to leaving your pets at home while making applications, dusting, or baiting traps are occurring. Some possibilities include the following:

Leave a dog or cat in the care of a willing friend or neighbor, or board the pet at a kennel for the day.
If you have a getaway planned and can take your pets with you, try to align it with your next pest control service appointment.
Finally, you could keep your pets confined in a safe part of the home as far from pest control activities as possible.

Additionally, before the pest control technicians arrive at your home, we recommend you collect all pet toys, food, and water bowls, bedding, and anything else they routinely contact, lick, or ingest. Securing them in a closed cabinet, sealed container, or another inaccessible place is a good idea to avoid possible exposure to chemicals.

Recognize That Different Pets Have Different Needs

Exotic pets, from clownfish to parakeets to potbellied pigs, have unique living arrangements that keep them in tanks, coops, cages, or other enclosures. Fish, birds, and reptiles may require advanced preparation before indoor spray treatments for fleas or other bugs. Be sure to cover their tanks and cages with blankets or towels to prevent any overspray, air-borne mist, or droplets from entering.

Before exposing sensitive-skinned birds and reptiles to pest control products, consider calling your veterinarian for advice. Some reptiles have relatively porous skin, and birds have delicate respiratory systems. In both cases, they may be more susceptible to pesticides containing chemicals, essential oils, and other possible irritants.

When in doubt, ask your Noosa pest professional if you should remove your pet(s) from the premises based on their particular needs and the pest treatment and application methods used in your home.

After You Pest Control Treatment Visit

Once the pest control appointment is complete, we recommend delaying letting your pets from roaming your home right away. Ensure that all sprayed areas have been properly ventilated and thoroughly dried before letting any four-legged family member near them. And never, never set baits and traps where pets can access them.
