The raw chemical, yes - it is toxic and corrosive, but it's so unpleasant that the squirrel is unlikely to sample it. However the granular form does seem to emit a vapour or fine dust that could harm a creature that can't escape.

In water at swimming-pool dilution, probably not. The animal may well smell or taste it more sensitively than we could, so simply not drink enough to be harmed.

When can you get in underground pool after you put chlorine?

Chlorine is usually kept in the pool at all times in the form of a tablet, if you mean the chlorine shock treatment which is a poweder that dissloves into the pool, I'd give it anywhere from 30 minutes to a day, depending on how much powder you've used to how many tablets are currently in the pool. Chlorine won't necessarily hurt you, since we swim in pools with it all the time, but it can burn your olfactory senses.


Why are your trees and shrubs dying after your neighbor drained his chlorine pool into your backyard?

Chlorine is used as a sanitizer for pools, not a fertilizer for plant. It kills things, like bacteria. Chlorine is a chemical and will kill, or at best, hurt plant and trees. Never just dump your pool water on or near plants and trees. Go to: www.clean-pool-and-spa.com/swimming-pool-maintenance-tips.html for more info.

Do you need to take any precautions if you found a dead squirrel in your pool?

I wouldn't let the kids play with it. Seriously, tho, it probably wasn't diseased; it just fell in and drowned. But even if it were sick, there aren't many, if any, diseases that can pass from squirrel to human, and the chlorine or other sanitizers in the pool will take care of any organic matter that entered the pool from the rodent.
