"It's very hot here--at least 110 degrees and I figure it should dry quite fast. The guy said not to let the dogs out back for two days but this is almost impossible."
Listen to what you were told or else you'll pay dearly in vet bills. I once had a service come spray for termites and the guy said he put chemical spikes along the garage, wouldn't other my dogs. My puppy thought it was a treat and started chewing on it then foaming at the mouth. Nice vet bill for me. Lesson, poison, if it kills insects and weeds it will certainly harm your pets and maybe you too if used often enough.
I stopped using poisons on my lawn. My outdoors cats eat all the insect like the pesky large beetles. Try and find a natural alternative.
wouldn't other my dogs
it(the spikes) wouldn't bother my dogs
I totally agree with what you said. Maybe our lawn isn't as perfect as others, but at least we, and our pets, are healthy for not having used poisons.
