What’s going on everybody, Dave Saunders here. Over the years, one of the most common questions I get from pet owners is: “Dave, I have ants (or roaches), but I’m scared to use baits because of my dog/cat. What can I do?”

It’s a valid concern. Many baits contain ingredients that are toxic to pets if eaten in large enough quantities. At the same time, doing nothing often leads to a much worse infestation. So today I want to share exactly how I help families safely use baits when they have dogs, cats, birds, or other pets in the house.
