Hello once again. This moving thing seems to have sparked quite a few questions from me. I was wondering if anybody knew much about the toxicity of pest control sprays. The house we are moving into apperantly has bugs, as the landlord informed us yesterday. He said the house is being sprayed once a month to cure the problem. My question is if I just tell the pest control workers that we have ferrets will they use pet friendly sprays.... that is if the exist. Our fuzzies usually have free run of the house, minus the kitchen area. Of course once we all get moved in, they will have limited run until we assure all escape routes and danges have been taken care of. Are there any certain insecticides I should ask them to not use? Is there a certain # of hours after spraying the ferrets should be left in the cage? Are the pest control workers going to know if what they are using will harm ferrets and will they even care? We did stop by the house today and it was just sprayed and the fumes were quite strong. Of course the landlord told them to spray heavily this time since we were in the process of moving in. Any advice is greatly appreciated, I've never had to worry about this sort of thing before. On another note, I had posted about the girls picking on Fidgit. They have been sleeping together a little more often. Fidgit doesn't always get to snuggle with them but at least he is allowed on the same floor. I was wondering what type of carpeting people used in their cages. We bought some short fiber carpet that seemed to me a safe carpet. Fidgit got a nail snagged in it tonite however. Should I remove the carpet and replace it with something differemt such as linoleum? After I filed his nails down a little though they seemed to be fine on the carpet. I was looking to make/buy a gate to block off the kitchen to our house. Somebody mentioned making one of plexiglass how would I actually make this work? Meaning how do I attach it to the wall, so we can still walk through with some ease. Or any other ideas for gates would be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance, you people have helped a lot in the past. Alicia, Skot, Tasia and the 3 fuzzies...Fidgit, Ferrial, and Charmaine. [Posted in FML issue 2386]
