We left the box open overnight in the shed, the next morning we threw it into the truck. When we opened it up at the show a farm cat jumped out of it and ran off.
The cat didnt seem hurt and it was only a 20min drive to the show.
I did it 2-3 times per week after rinsing. I didnt spray it on to heavy because of the heat and humidity. I sprayed just enought to see where it was then brushed it in.
