Is Optigard Ant Bait Gel harmful if a dog licks it?

My 50lb dog licked the get bait I put on the floor, by my back door. It was about 1/2in strip. Will she get sick? Should I take her to a veterinarian?

Answer:

Optigard Ant Bait Gel should be placed in places where it is out of reach of children and animals.  It contains food grade additives so that it's attractive to ants, and therefor it may be attractive to animals as well.  There is a very small amount of insecticide in the product, so a 50lb dog would have to consume quite a bit to cause any reaction, however it's always recommended to check with your vet or local posion control anytime your pet has insecticides.
