Is your product safe for use around dogs? I moved to Lake Worth, Florida about a month ago from southeastern Wisconsin. I have 3 dogs and one of my dogs has caught 2 big frogs. Both times it was about 4:00pm. This required 2 visits to the emergency vet. The vet told me that they’re an invasive species from Australia, highly toxic and can cause seizures and death. I never want my dogs to be sick or hurt. Is there anything I can do to get the frogs/toads out of my yard and keep them out or anything else I can do to keep my dogs safe? Please help! Any advice would help. I have been taking them out on their leashes but I rented a house with a yard so my dogs could run around. They have always had a backyard to run around in.
PEST XEMPT GRANULES and PEST AWAY SPRAY won’t pose a hazard to your dogs and should be applied around the yard to keep the frogs from entering. Made with food grade actives, it has a slight odor and bad taste which works well at repelling a wide range of reptiles, amphibians and insects. But to people and pets, it won’t be noticed once applied and even if they were to ingest some, it won’t do a thing. In fact it won’t hurt the frogs; its just a repellent. But frogs don’t like it and will avoid crossing it so it can be used to keep them away.
So for your situation, you need to put in place a barrier using both granules and spray. In most cases there will be one or two sides on the property where they will be entering. So do some inspecting to see which direction that might be and if possible, treat those sides extra well. But in general, you’ll need to treat all three sides of the property since they could be coming from any direction.
Xempt G uses all natural ingredients at a dose frogs and other amphibians do not like. They have a distinctive “wintergreen” aroma and will last 60 days per application. If you spray Pest Away over the granules, you’ll get 60-90 days of residual from treatments so you don’t have to spray as frequently.
Xempt G is packed 4 bags to a box; each baggie is .5 lbs and will cover up to 100 sq/ft.
After the granules are applied, spray over the top with PEST AWAY SPRAY. 1 gallon of mixed concentrate will cover up to 500 sq/ft and should be applied at least once a month. In some cases the spray will be needed during the month for spot treating. Remember, since the spray gets immediate results, it can be applied as needed. So if you locate a spot they seem to like inside the yard or were maybe hiding and you didn’t know of this location, be sure to treat it right away.
Pest Away is made with essential plant and tree oils that use a very “high” concentration. This is not “natural” in the wild and so they will effectively chase away frogs and insects from treated surfaces.
Pest Away won’t injure or harm your pets or even target frogs but pests will notice it and not be comfortable staying where its applied. Basically its the high level of natural oils spooks them. This is a natural reaction animals and insects have to many plant and wood oils so they avoid landing on it, eating it, etc.
Add 2 oz of Pest Away per 1 gallon of water to start and expect to get about 500 sq/ft of coverage per gallon.
Followup 3 weeks later. After the second treatment, the frogs should be “rerouted” to another place but if they continue to hang around, renew treatments as often as they return.
