My father used to have a lawn service that said the stuff they put down would dissipate within 24 hours if put down before rain or watering in. I never read the label for what they had, but perhaps there are products that absorb in quickly. Also--if you have a grub problem, milky spore (a natural product, although i think dogs should still be kept off lawn) works great, and it is not a poison. The bags cost a lot more than the poison, but it evens out in cost since a bag covers a lot of ground.
This is all probably academic for me, since Fred has been digging holes all over the lawn--luckily some are along the deck where I was planning on putting in some shrubs.
