Take Cookie and Cookie's enclosure out of the apartment for the entire day when the spraying happens. It doesn't matter what the pesticide is made out of. Essential oils are "all natural and made out of plants" and they can cause neurotoxicity and death in reptiles.Originally Posted by KingWheatley
I didn't use (edit: MY Lavender-alcohol spray) around Cookie's room at all.just the carpet powder with Lavender.
I asked the exterminator not to spray in the reptile room because I (will) have diatomaceous earth down. He said he still has to spray in there but putting a towel over his tank will be fine. He said they use a non-residual, so after 10 minutes it won't be in the air at all. "They are all natural and made out of plants." And instructed me not to use anything else other what they are using or their warranty will not be in effect.

Think about it. If you put a towel over your face and sprayed perfume all around the room that you were in, you would probably still be able to smell the perfume through the towel, meaning that the airborne particles are getting through the towel. A towel is not a barrier for pesticide. Don't risk it. Just take Cookie somewhere else.
