Not sure if this is the right subforum, but...
I looked at an apartment today, seems like a decent place. But one thing the maintenance guy mentioned was that they fumigate the whole building twice a year.
I don't like the idea of pesticide chemicals being used around my cats. Obviously I would take them out of the apartment during the fumigation (which is going to be a hassle), but the chemicals are still there afterwards, aren't they?
How big of a concern do you think this is?
I could maybe try and talk to the landlord about natural alternatives, but I doubt it will make any difference. Another lady is also vying for the apartment, and if I make a big deal negotiating with the landlord, he may well give her the apartment instead.
On the plus side, the cats would be unlikely to get fleas...
What do you think?
Thanks!
