I posted yesterday in the health & nutrition forum about having a small flea problem in one area of the basement. I haven't noticed any on the animals, and they're all treated with frontline. Well, John's mom decided that she wants to use those indoor foggers in the whole house.. that's fine, whatever. BUT, the instructions clearly state... "Use one per 30'x24' area, stay out of the house for 2 hours, then air out for 30 minutes, repeat in FOUR WEEKS IF NECESSARY" and "DO NOT USE MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT"... Our basement is almost exactly twice that size, so that's two. She's going to put SIX down here, and as soon as it airs out for 30 minutes, she's putting SIX MORE! I'm really angry about it, because I don't mind having to take the animals out for 3 hours, but now it's going to be even longer and I'm afraid to even come back in the house after having 12 foggers go off in one small area... with the only thing going to air it out is one small door. Plus she's going to use 8 on the first floor twice... so that's 16 going off directly above us, and she's doing 3 on the second floor twice. In total, that's 34 foggers set off just today.
I'm seriously thinking about sleeping in a car tonight... I'm terrified that we'll all get sick if we come back into this house after all that. To top it all off, she wouldn't even start early this morning.. it's 1:30 p.m. right now and she wants to go to town in a few hours and buy the rest of the foggers (she only has six right now) and do them tonight since she's sticking with the two and a half hours per "dose".
