Ok so today is a really nice day and I want to take Tommy outside but last month my dad put down pesticides and I'm a little worried. Is it safe yet? Thanks!

No, it really isn't safe. Unless there has been tons of rain, I would not chance it.

When my parents treated the lawn with a retail pyrethrin based pesticide (forgot which one, scotts maybe), I contacted the company and they said no animal should graze the area for a year. For other products I've seen the times ranging from 1 month to 1 year. Generally the more sun and rain the area receives the sooner you should be good.
