Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Crab grass killer?? Thu Aug 15, 2013 12:06 pm | |
| We have a yard behind our building for our dogs...a lot in our building.
This morning I went out and there was a guy with a backpack container and one of those hoses attached spraying stuff all over the yard.
I asked him what it was and he said it was to kill the crab grass. I asked him if he knew more details about the stuff and he said that it wasn't toxic.
But to some extent it must be, it is after all designed to kill something.
Unfortunately, he didn't speak very good English and I couldn't get any more info from him.
Any ideas what it likely was? Should we be concerned for the dogs?
I realize that being alive is not good for you health and that we encounter harmful toxins constantly everyday, but it makes it so much more haunting to actually see it administered.
Thanks for your help.

| Generally most of those sprays are safe once they are dry.
When I need to spray weed killer in the backyard I have to wait for a sunny, no rain day and keep Mishka out of the yard for a few hours before I can let him back out. _________________ |

| I can't speak for crab grass killer but when both our dogs were alive, we had an infestation of carpenter ants (I'll save you the horrid details) and Orkin sprayed every room inside the house, around the foundation of the house and around the trees. They said the spray was not harmful to animals and they were right. Both dogs were perfectly fine and the spray did it's job killing the ants. |

| I wouldn't worry as long as your dog isn't eating the grass or walking on the product while it's still wet. We have a spray crab grass killer that we use in our yard, I think it's made by Ortho but I'm not positive. Anyway, we keep the dogs away until it's dry and then make sure they don't eat the grass in the treated areas for a few weeks. _________________ |

| If someone came through and killed the crab grass out of our yard we wouldn't have any grass in our yard. _________________ |

Umm, yeah, I don't think a neighborhood with an HOA is going to work for you. _________________ |
