To Kristen -
 
        Most insect foggers don't have a strong enough residual effect to hurt
your ferrets. We routinely bomb our house for fleas and two hours later, the
ferrets and dogs are romping through the house.  (But I know that Siphotrol has
a weak residual).
 
        Sign of trouble - lack of appetitie, rumbling stomachs, diarrhea,
vomiting, salivation, dilated pupils, stumbling.  You probably won't see them,
but it's nice to know what to look for...
 
        Do your ferrets show any interest in the roaches - I had two very good
roachkillers at one time....
