Hi there Susan,

Thank you for your question and good on you for getting your girl to vomit so promptly, this will most likely have gotten most of the product out of her system anyway! The good news is that TERRO® Liquid Ant Bait is a Borax based ant killer which is perfectly unharmful to humans and pets. The fact it is mixed with a sweet food product means that it is very popular to pets!

Here is the info directly off the TERRO website: "Borax is a mineral that is mined in the desert in California and is a common active ingredient that is used in soap products such as 20 Mule Team Borax. The product kills ants but will not harm people or pets. If you spill some on your skin there will be no reaction at all. Simply wash with warm water. Pets occasionally find the Terro and eat it. Our advice when this happens is to do nothing at all. The product is not toxic enough to cause a problem and the pet will be just fine"

You will have most likely caused your girl to vomit the majority of the liquid up again - so you really don't have to worry!!

I hope this gives you some peace of mind and just reply if you need any further info won't you.

Thank you and please now click ACCEPT.

Kind Regards,

XX X X Edwards
