Insecticide question.

[bhsurf4]

I’m probably being too over cautious or worrying too much, but I thought that it wouldn’t hurt to at least ask. I’ve always sprayed the inside of my house 2X a year for insects, the outside I do every 3 months. Being in Houston,Texas, we get roaches the size of small dogs sometimes. Anyway, I’ve had dogs, cats, and even a leopard gecko and never worried too much because I figured if I was careful enough there wouldn’t be any issues. But 6 months ago I got my first ball python (thanks to morph market I have 5 now) and it’s time to spray again and I was wondering if I should take any extra precautions besides the usual common sense ones like not directly spraying anything that could come into contact with the animals and not going overboard in any confined areas.

Any cold blooded animal should be out of the room you are spraying, to only be placed back once done and the room aired out.

I think a lot also depends on what you spray. I use Bifenthrin around the perimeter of my house a couple times a year. It is safe for humans and mammals but says it is not for reptiles. It also last several months. It can be used inside as well but if I keep up on the outside applications I never have to use it inside. What spray are you using?
