Is this harmful to pets or children playing on the grass?

This product is harmful to both fruits and vegetables. It has a residual effect meaning it can come into contact with pets and children. They will need to be kept away from treated lawns although they could walk on it as long as it's not ingested or makes contact with the skin.

We can understand your concerns but can assure you that Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer granules are safe to use around children and pets as long as they are applied as label directed and the treated area is allowed to dry before children and pets reenter. If the pets eat some of the treated grass, once dried, it will not be harmful to them because it is not their main diet as would be the case with grazing animals. If a child eats some of the treated grass we would recommend calling our medical information line for assistance. ** please read and follow all label directions before using the product **
