5. You must remove or protect any people, animals, birds or fish during the treatment period. All pets/animals should be kept away from treated areas until dry and any odour has cleared.
6. You must avoid contact with treated surfaces until the insecticide has dried. This could take one (1) to twenty-four (24) hours in some cases.
7. On external treatments close all doors and windows during the treatment and keep closed until the odour has cleared. This could take one (1) to twenty-four (24) hours in some cases. This is done to avoid any odour entering the building.
