What are some effective ways to ensure that the ant killer I use is pet-safe for my furry companions?

To ensure that the ant killer you use is safe for your pets, look for products labeled as pet-safe or pet-friendly. Avoid using products containing harmful chemicals like permethrin or organophosphates. Consider using natural alternatives like diatomaceous earth or boric acid. Always follow the instructions carefully and keep pets away from treated areas until the product has dried or settled.
