Question
i purchased the above and did not find any information on the bottle or on the msds sheets regarding its effect on parrots.  Can you tell me if it is safe to spray around the house as he is loose a lot of time and walks on the floors.  We intend to spray it around baseboards  and the product says it is odorless.  Please advise and thank you in advance for your help.

Answer
Do not spray this product around any living things you care about, such as children, dogs, cats, fish, birds, etc..


Be sure that if you use it, all living things are removed from the area until the product is dry.   In a well ventilated area or outdoors, keep pets away no less than 4 hours.


If you've used this product in the vicinity of cages, perches or anything else pets use, be certain to wash down these items with plain water and then thoroughly dry.


As for letting a pet wander in areas that have been treated - it's reportedly 'safe' once the product is dry; however, I wouldn't let my birds or other pets go anywhere near it.


--- Odorless is meaningless.  Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and many other toxic gases are also odorless, but nonetheless, lethal.


By the way, GOOD JOB in asking about this first.  It shows how much you care and how responsible you are.  Thank you
