How Long To Keep Pets Off Lawn After Fertilizer Treatment

After you have had your lawn treated with fertilizer, weed control spray or pesticides it is essential to wait until these products completely dry before allowing children and pets to play in your South Florida commercial or residential lawn. In hot and sunny Palm Beach County, that can be as soon as a few hours, but it is best to err on the side of caution. Professionals recommend 24-72 hours after a lawn treatment before pets be allowed back on your South Florida lawn.

With granular fertilizers, make sure to water thoroughly after application for maximum absorption and then wait until dry. In South Florida the weather can change rapidly which will affect absorption rates and drying times, so don’t forget to keep that in mind.

When in doubt, please ask your lawn treatment company for their specific recommendations as they are the ones that know what products they are using and different products will have different drying and absorption times.
