I've taken home in a small house beside my fathers which was originally used as a guest house. There is often smoke in the air and I understand that this could be harmful to any tarantula. The problem is that none of the windows have screens on them and are very close to the ground, leading to a large number of insects coming into my home.
I could of course set up traps at the windows but I don't think it would get rid of every flying insect. I'm sorry if this sounds selfish but I do live out in a small town, with A LOT of trees and A LOT of bugs. I'm not a fan of having 50 moths in my house and a ton of crawlers scittering across my floors.
Another problem is my bedroom does not have a door. For the time being I have set it by the door in hopes of getting a better chance at fresh air even though the outside door has no ventilation other than the cracks in the sides.
The windows are very old style and to open them you have to lift them up. I could put in screens but I don't think it would be too easy. Would it be okay to once and awhile put my T outside for fresh air or would it be harmful with all the insects and floating particles from all the plants?
The house isn't very large, you walk in and its the living room/kitchen and then a bathroom and bedroom.
Another question is, since I can't open windows and whatnot especially at night, it gets pretty warm and I don't want my little guy to get dehydrated. How often should I mist and where should I mist in the tank?
