HELP (no longer needed) Termite Company sprayed while I was not home!

[rittert3]

I actually used to work for a termite company...Termidor is sprayed underground with a probe along the outside of the foundation. Go ahead and go the the company but right now move the tractor away from the house and also change the feed and water as was mentioned before. A few hours after it is applied termidor is pretty harmless to cats and dogs so the cat should be fine and if he dose happen to eat some grass that has the chem. on it the most it will do is give him a little bit of an upset stomache. will check back later if you have anymore ?'s also when you go to the company ask about where all the chemical was sprayed and mention that you had chickens that close to your foundation at the time of application. If they seem ignorant of your concern then by all meens let them have it. An applicator is required to be 100% aware of their suroundings when spraying.

ETA: well for future reference, lol

Yes, the active ingredient is fipronil, found in Frontline. The manufacturer is BASF and they give an emergency number on the front of the Termidor label which I found on Google. The number is 1-800-832-4357 and it is 24 hour if you want to give them a call. I am sure they would be very knowledge about potential safety concerns with chickens. Diane

It happens to the best of us. It sounds like you were already stressed to the max and tired to boot when you got home. I'd call and leave another message, get a good nights sleep and start baking in the morning.

I'm glad everything is allright!
