Question 1

what is main agent in product

Accepted Answer

please don't be like Alice. the ingredients in things really matter. shame on spectracide for hiding the main ingredient of their product. it is called Lambda Cyhalothrin, in a percentage of  0.03%. it is a synthetic pyrethroid. Synthetic pyrethroids are man made insecticides that mimic the chemical properties of a natural insecticide called Pyrethrum. it comes from crushing the petals of the Chrysanthemum flower. the synthetic version lasts longer, and can be made to deliver a higher dose. pesticides can be very dangerous to your pets, and kids. this one is fatal to bee's. don't use this near flowers where you have seen bee's. please do some research on the  product you choose, before you use it. AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. anyone can write a review, that doesn't make them a professional. Cornell university has a great site to do your research. don't buy anything that doesn't list the ingredients !  don't be like Alice. we have a brain for a reason people, USE IT !

Question 2

This was accidentally sprayed on soil of a garden bed containing growing vegetables. Is it safe to eat the vegetables? I can’t find info on this.

Accepted Answer

I would not eat your vegetables after you spray it

Question 3

How do you protect your pets from the spray?  Is it safe after it dries?

Accepted Answer

I have an outdoor cat who adopted me.  I use this item a great deal.  Depending upon the time of day you apply it, temperature outside, and sun location determines how fast it dries.  I normally apply it an hour before the sun goes down.  My cat isn't phased by it.  If you have dogs, I would probably leave them in the backyard while you spray the front yard.  Reverse the method on the next day.
