Hello everyone. I'm a happy owner of a 2-3 year old Quaker parrot, her name is Cocoa.
I'm aware all spray products are better avoided near birds, and we generally do that. However recently we've had a small moth infestation in a nearby room and it's probably something we'd need to use some bug spray to solve.
This leads to my question(s); how far away should my bird be from this room and for how long? The room is somewhat well ventilated but it's next to where she usually spends a lot of her time, she's sometimes walking in and out of the room as well.
Both the room we need to spray and the area she's usually in are directly next to/under a retractable roof area, so ventilation shouldn't be a problem in theory, but I wanted to be extra safe just in case and was thinking of moving her across the house for a little while if we do this. The room also has a ceiling fan if that helps somehow.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
