Pest Control and Ts

[Dimator]

apartment building has a serious roach infestation problem and within a few days, the landlord will have a pest control crew come over and spray some mild chemicals (as they say) in the exterior and the inner corridor in order to get rid of the roaches.
Although they will not spray inside my apartment (unless I tell them so) ,I was wondering; Would it be safe for my Ts or should I relocate them for a few days?

If it's not too many animals and in you have a suitable place to keep them, I'd say definetly relocate for 2 weeks.

Thing is, except from the Ts (which are 7) I've got some other animals that won't probably do well in direct exposure to these chemicals (such as a ball python, a bearded dragon and my mealworm and red runner colony)

Another thing is that I haven't many options for relocating all of them

At least all the inverts should be out of the way. I mean, why would you want to keep a roach colony anywhere near a place where anti-roach poison is sprayed?

The reptiles will probably be okay if you keep the room as little exposed as possible.

I have pest control spay the outside perimeter of the house every few months. I close the windows and turn off the central air for a little bit. Just had it done today as a matter of fact.

Wash your hands well and if you do any maintenance or feedings on the ground just be aware of any transfer from your shoes to the floor for a little while if you wear shoes indoors. Other than that I don’t worry about it.

As for inside pest control I do traps.

Thanks that was really reassuring. I'll keep that in mind

Maybe bring them to a vet

Maybe bring them to a vet

That actually could work but I live in Greece, here vets only acknowledge dogs and cats as pets

It's a crappy situation, but at least they wouldn't spray inside, so keep the windows and your door (when possible) well closed.

Yes I'm going to shut everything down and cover the bottom/top of the doors/windows with wet towels
