I'm planning to take everything out, the background is flat cork bark. Can that and wood be safely bleached without leaving harmful residue (I'll rinse and soak well afterwards either way). Once I have everything out should I clean the glass with bleach or diluted vinegar?

I could bake the substrate and bleach and CO2 (individually) the plants. I guess I need something to do over the weekend.

...Some people use Sluggo. Reduces numbers of slugs for a while, possibly/probably harmful to other inhabitants. The only sure fire way is to bleach dip every plant that goes into a viv when building it, which should always be done when building a dart viv. Likely you have predatory...

Are they spraying some kind of disinfectant into the entire classroom? If so, I'd also recommend removing the enclosures. I don't even think that'd be good for human health--usually those disinfectants work a lot like bleach.

...all over the walls of the enclosure. I did get the T out, it’s enjoying a bit of an upgrade size wise so it all worked out in the end. I bleach cleaned the original enclosure and won’t be using it anytime soon. Again, thank you for all the feedback people, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you...

Tiny, fast and black? Pinhead crickets? Did you left any cricket for long time?

They don’t fly and I just rehoused the GBB. I tossed everything from the enclosure and bleach cleaned the Amac box. Thank you everyone

10% bleach- rinse thoroughly with water

what i recommended were things like hot/boiling water, distilled vinegar (originally got this from aquaculture and have since been applied to arachnoculture), changing out affected substrate for clean substrate and general things of this nature

...to clean roach bins periodically. You transfer them to a new bin and clean the old with soapy water. You could even use alcohol or a deluted bleach solution if you wanted. Utensils can also be cleaned if they get gummy. As a side note, you can even sterilize substrate before use. I microwave...

...one of the methods they use when milking spiders via small jolts of electricity, however you have to know what you are doing, too much results in death obviously. Curious if chloroform would have an effect on inverts? pretty easy to make with ice, bleach acetone. probably not a good idea...

...are harmful to T's). I cleaned the floor of my bathroom with a chemical cleaner for the last time a few months ago. Nothing too heavy like bleach, but I'm still afraid there could still be some residue and the dubias just walked over it. Is there an actual risk or am I just overthinking...

...couches in every seam get a hepa vac as normal Bagless vacs won’t kill they’ll just come out of the vacuum. Wash all your clothes small bit of bleach thrown in and dry small loads for an hour each. I never ever brought any home and I’ve been in places where there’s more bed bugs in the house...

Have you used any of the scented bottles with tarantulas? Wouldn't want to poison something innocent just for the sake of my convenience

Nertz. And I assume you've rinsed it a few times. Most common plastics are made with chloride compounds, PVC, PET CPVC,etc. Chlorine like bleach chemically interacts with the outer surface. Destabilizes it. We have about 15 water bottles of assorted plastics. I sterilized them with chlorine...

ok so the bleach seemed to work to get rid of the algae. now the container has a slight bleach smell after rinsing. should i repeat rinsing and drying until it subsides? Should i let it soak? Is it a non-issue? let me know

Bleach destroys algae. After the 24 hours fill with water and place in bright light or in the sun. If it regrows it's not algae but black mold, Stachybotrus chartarum. If that is the case, throw it away. or burn it with a propane torch. You need to heat the mold to >350C to kill those spores.
