Now that I have the Bifenthrin and the spreader, I need to find out how long I have to wait before I let my dogs on the grass again. I have spent a long time trying to get an answer with Google but all I get is different answers and warnings. Naturally, the container it comes in has no information on this topic.

The answer should be on the label on the container.
However, it should not be very long, if any time at all. Bifenthrin, in some formulations, is used for fleas and ticks and can also be used for indoor pests.

Read the label on the container carefully. It should give you your answer.

Since asking about spreader I presume you have granuals and in what concentration? I suspect concentration strength and application rate will both figure into wait time.

Label should have all the warnings and application info. Does that label peel open and have several pages under cover page?

Use this in liquid form around pets. Basically, when it is dry I let dog on the lawn. no more than 30-45 minutes. Info that I have is it is not hazardous to pets and humans as it attacks insects in a way that that does not effect us and pets. Sodium channels I believe that mammals do not have but may be wrong

Here are photos of the only instructions that are on the bag. I could get closeups of certain areas if needed but I can find nothing about time to wait for pets to go on grass. Lots of scary info though.

I found this article that gives a pretty good explanation of bifenthrin and pets.

Unpacking the Safety of Bifenthrin for Your Furry Friend: What You Need to Know - Doghousefmb.com

From what I read in the article, it looks like it would be good to water after application or get a rain. Overall, it is fairly safe for pets and humans. Not so good for fish or aquatics.

Also, I did find and read the label and it makes no mention of pets. Generally, if it doesn't warn you on the label, it is not a concern.

Thank you for the best information I have gotten yet. I just have to make sure not to use too high of a dose.

Looks like you'll need 5-6 bags.
