Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 22 days old | 3 lbs
I have a spider problem, and will be adopting a kitten soon. The only essential that repel spider are harmful to cats. I.e. treetea, lavender, citrus. If these were to dry, as in i sprayed them and let it dry, would it still be harmful? If it was diluted would it still be toxic? And if so, what are pesticides i could use that wouldnt harm our kitten?

The essential oils listed are all toxic to cats. Even if dry, there may be harmful residues left behind that could cause harm if ingested after self grooming. Consider products from EcoSmart ( www.ecosmart.com ) may be cat safe and effective in keeping spiders out of your home.
