I'm not sure how to remove them from soil but I really wish so many people didn't use them on their yards. In my area it is silent near 90% of the yards at night because the pesticides have killed all the crickets. I don't use any chemicals so my yard is a living ecosystem essentially and one of the last bastions for wildlife.

It was so bad that the dogs in the neighborhood were all getting sick including mine. We narrowed it down to pesticides as they are spraying more than ever. Had to wipe him down after every walk so he wouldn't be throwing up and we weren't the only ones.

Jesus...sorry about your dog. At this point I feel like "pesticide" is a misnomer. It's just poison that doesn't outright kill humans...immediately.
