Is it safe to use Sevin's Dust in my house to kill fleas with my cats in the house?

Answer 1

Hi Susan...Sevin's Dust is considered very toxic and there has been some evidence it can cause cause cancer later in life for both humans and animals. Boric acid is often used as a relatively nontoxic insecticide, for killing cockroaches, termites, fire ants, fleas, and many other insects. It can be used directly in powdered form for fleas. Most hardware stores carries this product

I like Kristy's answer. I was thinking about your question and waiting to see what the responses were.

My son let his house get a terrible flea infestation and we "bombed" the place to get rid of them. Naturally the cat was not there for the recommended period to keep him and us out.
Madison the cat was four or five years old I think.

Madison developed a terrible wasting disease at about age twelve. It may have been some sort of lymphoma. Never really diagnosed. He went from a healthy 12 lb cat before dying at about 4 lbs. I was very upset with my son for letting him go on like that and that is another issue.

I am on the Yahoo feline cancer group. The terrible cancers that are there, the pain of the owners trying to help these poor suffering creatures. We just don't know what causes this disease in its many forms.

The less toxic stuff you put into you and your cat's environment the better. It may not be a factor for the cat or people and why take ANY risk if you can avoid it. Poison is poison and never to be taken lightly.

No it's not!!! The best thing to do is to buy some flea killer made for the home. What I use to do is I would sprinkle baking soda in my carpet everyday and then vacuum. At night place a bowel of water with a drop of dawn dish soap under a night light pointed down torward the bowel. The next morning when you get up it will have a bunch of fleas in it. The light attracts them, and the dish soap keeps them from jumping out of the water. You can also wash your animals in the dawn dish soap and it will kill all the fleas on them. Get some flea drops from your vet to prevent them from hanging out on your cats.

Answer 7

it depends on your cats.
I've used the dust on my dogs (nothing else worked...including the drops, flea baths, bombs, etc.) and their bedding. The cats have been in and out of the house including 4 kittens with no problem.

Go here for an awesome dog training program http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?GnO2

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn t going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don t be one of them.
