NOPE - it even says not to use them around your pets on the package
Well not QUITE. I have one in front of me and what it says as far as being in a room with them and as far as pets..
"Not for use in homes except garages, attics, crawl spaces,and sheds, occupied for less than 4 hours per day.
Also for use in the following areas: animal and farm buildings, milk rooms (avoid contamination of milk or milking equipment), motels, restaurants (non food areas only), food processing plants (non food areas only), industrial and commercial locations, kennels, garbage storage areas and containers and similar enclosed spaces if areas are occupied for less than 4 hours per day."
Later it does say to keep out of reach of children and pets.
So, while they ARE pretty nasty things, putting one in your veg room for a couple or 4 days isn't gonna hurt you or your pets. Some of us have sealed rooms with exhaust cycles to further protect from contaminating the whole house..IF that's an issue at all.
Just use them with care...or don't use them at all..I don't really care lol...I'm just saying...if you want a fast easy cheap SURE way to get RID of mites ...a NPS works like a hot damn!
The only precautions I take are to not use them in the flower room and only when I NEED to in my veg room. Only needed to once and..buh-bye mites.
PEACE.
