Judy, I have used terraclor since the Gable Iris Co.of Minneapolis 
advertised it way back yonder.  I have had lots of pets over the 
years, and my feeling is that they are repelled by the smell.  My pets 
never get near the irises anyway because part of the back yard is 
theirs and is enclosed with a fence.

Anyway, this is what the label says about pets:

"Keep children and pets off treated area until the material is washed 
into the soil and the treated area has dried completely."

Like any other chemical (and I use very few), I wear a long sleeve 
shirt, rubber gloves, and mask.  I hose myself off outside when I 
finish, leave my clothes in the garage, and come inside and shower.  
Then, the clothes go into the wash before they are worn again.  I do 
this even with Roundup.

too, will feel like we are in the tropics).
