WHEN CAN WE WALK OVER WHERE WE JUST SPRAYED?

I just sprayed maxxthor around the house, on the siding and on the ground. when can i let the pets out?

Great question! There is no “one answer fits all” to this question BUT in general, wait at least 4 hours. Why?

Because only then will it be able to “stay in place” and not be removed by the “shoes of people” or the “paws of pets”.

Remember, the MAXXTHOR you applied will be diluted. And this applies to anything you may have used like PROTHOR or PEST AWAY.  Additionally, you sprayed it over a large area. This means the chemical your sprayed over the grass and turf is very weak and dispersed which means that what is left is not significant enough to pose a hazard to anyone, pet or wildlife. That said, we do recommend keeping everyone off the treatment for 4 hours. This insures it properly dries and “locks” in place so it won’t be carried away by anyone walking over a “still wet” treatment.

Think about cement. When its first poured, its a liquid and you need to stay off till it dries. Once cured, it will remain place. The same is true with the yard treatments.

And we recommend the same for inside applications.  So if you sprayed BITHOR or any of our aerosols in the home on carpets or MAXXTHOR in the yard, let them settle and dry for at least 4 hours. This gives them plenty of time to affect the target pest and take care of your pest problem without being adversely affected by people or pets walking on it.

The following video summarizes this in less than 60 seconds.
