...is spraying my neighbor's yard and I'm worried. My dog a lot of times is digging by the fence like there is something there and hangs out there. Should I be concerned if this chemical is sprayed there could harm my dog~? YES, I'm concerned and what do I do. I can't control where he goes when he's out there. If I was to block it, there is another area too that is by our fence lines.
I just talked to the neighbor & guy and he told me that "what they use isn't harmful and is less of an ingredient that the flea control we use on our pet. It is safe for kids and adults". But to me any chemical is harmful for animal.

You know when those companies put out those flags on the edge of the lawn that say that the grass has just been sprayed and may be harmful to pets? It took me more than three years of walking Artie on those lawns to finally read one of those flags. I had a week of panic and wouldn't let him walk on those lawns (lest he then, later, lick his paws) before I realized, "Uh, he's been fine for the past THREE YEARS, so..."
I'm not saying that you shouldn't be vigilant. I'm just saying that I never thought to read the flags, Artie walked on those lawns all the time and is fine.
I share your consern. Just had this conversation with my neighbor. She has Bedbugs! So Tomarrow they are comming to saturate her apt! [Wish they do mine!] Anyway she & her SO are leaving for 4 hrs per instructions. BUT she thinks its OK for her upstairs Neighbors tiny dog to stay home alone during this!

If your neighbor apt has bedbugs, then it is likely you or others next to her could have them as well since they spread.

Oh, I know about those "little flags". I still think that there is harm to be done by putting chemicals on lawns. Every dog in this neighborhood sniffs on everyone's grass and the owners let them no matter what. And some don't pick up their "stuff" either. The guy was nice enough to tell me that there is no harm since it is less than what is put on the dogs monthly for their fleas. But then if that is the case, how can it really kill or take care of the bugs (or whatever) the problem is~?
hehehehe I had a roach problem since Mid March... Form April to June earwigs! I killed the earwigs then some one told me they would eat roaches ugh Not sorry I killed them tho cant stand earwigs! They pinch & scary since Star Trek Wrath of Kahn LOL
