   I tried searching for an answer, but haven't seen it really addressed.
   I had my first spray treatment this afternoon (from 12:15-1:15pm). I got home and saw all the spray residue everywhere, which I know I'm supposed to leave for the bugs to cross.

   However, my cat is next door in my neighbor's kitchen and I'm wondering is it safe to bring him back? I just don't want him walking across it and grooming himself and then ingesting any poison. I told my PCO that my cat was in there but I guess we didn't really go over what I should do in terms of keeping him safe.

   Also edited to add I just read his paperwork and he used Phantom spray

   I would ask the PCO when it's safe for a cat to come back in. Some pesticides can be harmful to cats. A licensed PCO should be able to tell a customer when it's safe again, based on what he did. (And did he apply anything besides Phantom?)
