Can You Use Flea, Tick & Mosquito Yard Spray Around Pets and Children?

When treating a yard where pets and children play, it's important to choose an outdoor pest-control product carefully and follow its directions for use.

Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield is designed to help control fleas, ticks and mosquitoes in appropriate outdoor areas when used according to the product label.

Can You Use It in Yards Where Pets Play?

If your dog or cat regularly spends time outside, follow the Natural Armor product label regarding application around pets and when animals may return to treated areas.

Common areas where outdoor pest treatment may be needed include:

• Lawns

• Pet play areas

• Around patios

• Landscaping

• Fence lines

• Shaded areas

• Areas where pets regularly travel

Only treat surfaces and locations permitted by the product label.

Can You Use It in Yards Where Children Play?

For yards used by children, carefully follow all application instructions and precautions on the label.

Before treating, remove toys, sports equipment and other items from the application area when appropriate.

Follow the product directions regarding when children may return to treated areas.

Should Pets and Children Be Outside While You're Spraying?

Follow the Natural Armor label regarding people and pets during application.

Keeping children and pets away from the immediate treatment area while you're spraying also helps you apply the product evenly without interruption.

Follow any drying or reentry instructions before allowing the treated area to be used again.

Can You Spray It Directly on Pets?

Do not apply a yard pest-control product directly to your dog, cat or other animal unless the product label specifically states that it is approved for that use.

If your pet has fleas or ticks, speak with your veterinarian about an appropriate treatment or preventive product.

Outdoor treatment should be considered part of the overall pest-control strategy rather than a replacement for appropriate pet flea and tick protection.

Where Should You Focus Treatment?

Fleas, ticks and mosquitoes often concentrate in protected areas rather than the open center of the lawn.

Pay particular attention to appropriate areas around:

• Shaded grass

• Shrubs and bushes

• Trees

• Fence lines

• Yard edges

• Landscaping

• Patios and decks

• Pet activity areas

Always follow the product label regarding approved treatment locations.

Combine Treatment With Yard Maintenance

Reducing pest-friendly conditions can help limit the need to rely on spraying alone.

Regularly:

• Mow the lawn

• Remove leaf litter

• Trim shrubs and vegetation

• Eliminate unnecessary standing water

• Keep gutters clear

• Maintain pet areas

• Reduce unnecessary yard debris

These steps help make the yard less favorable for fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.

Use Natural Armor as Directed

Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield provides a convenient way to help control fleas, ticks and mosquitoes around appropriate outdoor areas.

When pets and children use the yard, the most important rule is simple: read the label, apply the product only as directed and follow all instructions regarding treated areas and reentry.

For pets, combine appropriate yard treatment with veterinarian-recommended flea and tick protection when needed.

Always read and follow all application instructions, pet and child precautions, reentry directions and approved uses on the Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield product label.
