Natria Organic products are easy to use (most of them are ready to use/spray) and made of safe, eco-friendly materials. Natria products comprise those that control disease, eradicates pests, and weed and grass control herbicides.
These products are EPA registered; hence they are organic and safe to use. They are less toxic and favorable for use in your gardens and lawns.
However, it's paramount to keep your pets away from the treated area until the herbicide has thoroughly dried. The herbicide should have dried in at least 2 hours.
Before we begin, let's look at some of the general safety precautions:
Safety Measures While using Natria Products (pet's safety)
Read the labels and instructions carefully
It is a requirement by the law to read the label before using any herbicide or pesticide. This helps you understand its usage and the effects that may arise if used otherwise.
Herbicide should dry before using the treated area
After spraying your lawn or garden, let the herbicide dry before allowing in your pets.
If possible, use natural weed control measures
The use of mulch, for example, reduces the sprouting of weed in a garden. You can as well use a hoe or hand to pull the weeds instead of using herbicides. Here's a list of herbicide alternatives if you want to learn more.

Precautions to Take to Avoid Spray Drift
Spray drift is when the herbicide drifts and harms your desirable plant or flower.
The non-selective herbicide will most probably do away with almost any plant they get into contact. To avoid this, you need to take precaution and follow the following guidelines;
Read and understand the label
If the label states that you should use a low-pressure sprayer, use one. The use of a high-pressure sprayer will lead to the drift of small particles.
Clean sprayers appropriately
Rinse the sprayers after use and discard the rinse water safely. The rinse water should not come into contact with any desirable plant.
Spray your herbicides in the morning when the air is calm
If possible, have a contact herbicide sprayer which to use exclusively to control weeds.
In case you want to spray your desirable plants, use another sprayer to avoid harming them with residues from the weed killer.
Use a plastic sheet to cover nearby plants to protect them from spray drift
Remove the sheet after the herbicide has dried completely. Keep off treated areas since your shoes might carry the herbicide to your lawn.
