Hey guys I bombed my house 6 days ago and have had my tarantula collection moved to my grandmothers house during the mean time. I used several foggers in each room I also used bleach in my house and tried my best to get rid of whatever was leaving bites on my skin at night. Since the fogging I've gotten 0 bug bites which I am very happy about but I'd like to know when I can bring my tarantulas back home. The smell of the pesticides and bleach have gone away for the passed 48 hours and it's been 6 days in total since the bombing. Can I bring my collection back home? I've been leaving all my windows open to aswell to cycle in new air. Thank you tarantula family!

I THINK that sounds long enough. If its safe for human and cats or dogs or whatever then I would guess all the poison is gone. Ive read about a cricket test whete get some crickets in the questionable environment and if they survive a night or two then itll most likely be ok.

Pesticide fogers leave residual on every conceivable surface, I wouldn't bring back my T's till I wiped/cleaned all those surfaces down to prevent any dust being kicked up and circulated to feeders or T's in enclosures. That stuff could float around from just the window being open.

Every surface was cleaned we bleach or cleaning products my whole house was cleaned too to bottom after the bomb.
