Hi everyone!
We had a small sewage leak in our basement and will have to replace roughly 84 square feet of carpet in two narrow hallways. They will use a ‘supposedly’ bio-safe disinfectant that has a less than 1% VOC on the floor once the carpet is removed. We are going to ask if they can air out the carpet for a few days before installing.
I know that new carpet is extremely dangerous for birds and my cockatiel Obi and conure Binxy are always on the second floor, away from the basement. Binxy is new and his quarantine from Obi will be over in a few days and I’m going to board them at their avian vet overnight to do our seasonal furnace/fireplace burn off. Looks like we’ll be extending their visit a bit.
Any ideas on how long they will need to be out of the house? I know some sources say if it’s an area your bird frequents they should be out for 4-6 weeks minimum. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
