Here's something I found:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Soil-Issu...ed-chlorid.htm
Question
How can we use lime to control pests in or garden and weeds that are out of control? We do not want to hard or existing plants and flowers. We live in Central Florida, Fort Pierce, on the East Coast.
Thank you
PS: We have a dog and several cats, is lime harmful to animals?
Answer
Hi Kathryn,
Agricultural lime is not harmful to cats and dogs, nor it it harmful to insects and weeds. Lime is an important tool in successful gardening to amend the soil, but is not going to help you control pests. Hydrated lime is labeled for use around kennels and stables for odor contol, but not as an insecticide. There are a number of organic insecticides available for insect control and a couple of organic herbicides available. Check with your local independent garden center for products that are labeled for use in your area.
A word of caution..."organic" doesn't mean a product is safe for you or the environment. Many organics are extremely toxic to fish, bees, crustaceans or other organisms in our ecosystem. Many times there may be a safer, synthetic alternative. Read and follow all label instructions and never use a product inconsistent with it's labeling.

And Taz', too
I'm glad Angie was able to find an answer; I wasn't sure. I have a vague recollection of one of my friends using lime in her dog's kennel many years ago, but it's been so long I wasn't sure of the circumstances. Now, having said that, I must say that I don't believe for one minute that those two cuties would ever do anything as distructive as digging big holes.

Yes there is LiLi {pic on post 1} which is Mastiff body/shape & border collie coat markings.. She is thick & huge.. Pic dosnt even show her off well.. She is a kennel rescue as a puppy of 5 yrs ago.. Now there was Brandy a aussie mix which died from cancer this last summer.. Well right after her death of a month then this Bigg Yellow Lab started roaming the streets by me.. Well I kept putting food/water out & after 3 weeks he finally came to me.. Well found out he had been trained & was well mannered & nuetered & was harmess walk trained.. Well my Vet & I came to the conclusion that a neighbor by me was moving & they just took this baby's collar off & abanded him.. His name is Nickilia Honey Boy also in top post 1 pic.. Him & LiLi just hit it off perfect.. She was so depressed when Brandy died that Nickilia Honey Boy was perfect timing for a good home.. I will try to post more pics of them.. Its so hard cause they are ussally right beside me or in my lap.. Not like my cats = these dogs dont like possing..

No, so long as it doesn't have something added that is. And so long as they don't eat large amounts. Some people use a small concentration of the tree lime stuff in their animal shampoo as a preventative for ringworm when they are bringing their animal to a show.
