The treatment usually dries within 2 hours. However, we recommend that you keep children and pets off the lawn for about 12 hours if possible. Avoid mowing the lawn for 24 hours after the treatment and set your mowing height to about 3". Yes! Just let us know and we can apply a special pre-emergent formulation that will allow you to plant grass seed. But we must know ahead of time.

Pre-emergent applications put down a microscopic layer on the soil that prevents many seeds from sprouting, including crabgrass. This invisible shield is usually put down in early spring before the soil temperature reaches 60 degrees. It remains active throughout the spring and most of the summer months when the seeds begin to germinate, unless the soil is vigorously raked or dug up.

Pre-emergent is best applied after aeration to reduce the chance of weed invasion in the yard while grass is spreading to the cored holes. Do not apply pre-emergent if you intend to over-seed.

Basically, Pre-Emergents prevent new weeds from sprouting. Post-Emergents kill existing weeds. More information is available at this page.

The majority of pre-emergents prevent germination for all types of seeds. A newer pre-emergent under the name Tupersan is a selective pre-emergent that can be used at the time of seeding to prevent weed seed germination and allow grass seed germination.

Ideally if pre-meding with Ace, it should be administered 1 hour prior to the commencement of Anesthesia for its effect to be adequate. If given 15 minutes before the anesthesia, the animal will often go deeper 30 minutes into the anesthetic when the full effect of the Ace takes place. The original vapouriser setting which was adequate for the initial and subsequent maintenance phase of the anesthetic, will now, due to a deepening anesthetic plane, be too high.

In general, avoid sun exposure for 4-6 weeks before treatment, and again after treatment until your physician allows it. Care should be taken in the first few days following treatments to avoid scrubbing or rinsing the treated area with abrasive skin cleansers. Consult your practitioner for specific precautions that relate to your individualized treatment plan.

Universal Precautions are an approach to infection control which assume that all human blood and some other bodily fluids could be infectious for HIV, Hepatitis B or other bloodborne infections and must be treated accordingly. Regarding HIV, the human body fluids that transmit HIV are blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk, among which blood is the only one encountered by school staff in general education settings.

Take the same precautions you'd use if you were going on a hike. Tell someone where you're going and when you expect to return. Bring maps, water, sunscreen, and maybe a cell phone if you have one. Watch out for poison oak, ticks, snakes, cougars, and convicts who just broke out of the maximum security prison down the road. Above all else, bring your common sense with you!
