Pesticides and Pets: Keeping Your Customers' Pets Safe with Lawnager

Pesticides and Pets: Keeping Your Customers' Pets Safe with the Lawnager app

As lawn care professionals, we understand that maintaining a beautiful, healthy lawn is a top priority for our customers. But for many homeowners, their lawns aren’t just outdoor spaces—they’re also playgrounds for their pets. Balancing effective lawn care with the safety of furry family members is a responsibility we take seriously.

At Lawnager, we’re committed to empowering lawn care professionals to deliver outstanding service while prioritizing the well-being of our customers’ pets. By following best practices and leveraging the tools Lawnager offers, we can provide peace of mind to pet owners while keeping their lawns in top shape.



Understanding the Risks



Pesticides, herbicides, and other lawn care chemicals are essential for combating weeds, pests, and plant diseases. However, if not applied properly, these products can pose risks to pets. Issues such as skin irritation, ingestion of harmful substances, or exposure to residues on grass can arise, especially with curious pets that sniff, roll, or chew on treated areas.

Knowing these risks, it’s vital for us as professionals to use safe and informed practices to protect pets while delivering effective treatments.

Tips for Keeping Pets Safe During Lawn Care

Here are some best practices we follow to ensure pet-friendly lawn care:


  1. Use Pet-Safe Products: Whenever possible, we select organic or natural pesticides labeled as pet-safe. These products are formulated with ingredients that minimize harm to animals.

  2. Strictly Adhere to Guidelines: We always follow application instructions to avoid over-application and ensure treatments are effective without increasing risk.

  3. Notify Homeowners: Communication is key. We inform our customers when treatments are applied and provide clear instructions on how long pets should stay off the treated areas.

  4. Post-Treatment Safety: We advise homeowners to wipe their pets’ paws and rinse them after outdoor play to prevent residual exposure from treated grass.

  5. Stay Informed: By keeping up-to-date with industry standards and innovations, we ensure we’re using the safest and most effective products available.
