We have a 3 year old hermanns tortoise. We have to fog the house with permethryn bug bombs and spray the carpets with permethryn spray as we have a moth infestation in our wool carpets and have been told by the pest controller that this is the best way to deal with it. The tortoise enclosure is in a room that won't need to be fogged, and he will be kept outside the house for the whole day after the fogging. His enclosure can be removed as well for a day or so, so I think he'll be fine in his encloure in the non-fogged room when he comes back.
But the weather here is turning colder and wetter here now autumn is here, and normally he wanders the floor of the house for a few hours a day during the colder months when it's too cold to go outside or he gets restless and tries to climb out of his enclosure. So how long after fogging (with repeated airing of the space, repeated vacuuming of the rugs and mopping the hard floors) can he return to the rooms that have been fogged?
