Maybe it depends on the formulation or maybe it’s just be down to what the particular manufacturer has actually tested.
They make flea collars for cats with permethrin (I found out just now) so it can’t be that toxic. If you’re really worried just get a pair of hiking pants and boots and keep them in a catproof tote.
Just be careful doing this if you have cats as pets.
I don’t have cats but from what I’ve read, you just need to keep them away from it until it dries.
Ive seen conflicting reports regarding safety of permethrin and cats.
Some say "neurotoxin". Others say "neurotoxin till dried".
Frankly, I'll keep it away in any form. I dont want to harm my cats. Even if it means that I'm a human pincushion to mosquitoes and ticks.
