Bug Spray

Ok, so my mom, not really paying attention sprayed hot spot bug spray in my room in the opposite corner from where my gecko is. I have taken everything out of her cage scrubbed everything and put it back in. She is not showing any signs of being sick. Should I take her to the vet or not until she shows signs of trouble?

P.S. I have given my mom a long lecture about spraying the bug spray and she will not be doing it again.

The fumes from the bug spray might bug her, so I would open a window to let fresh air in and so the fumes go away. Other than that if it wasn't sprayed into the tank or at her, I think she should be fine.

Well because its like 29 deg. outside I think I am going to leave the window shut however I did open my bedroom door and left it open all night so hopefully that helped a little. Any more opinions??

the food supply is in the room but not near where she sprayed however I already threw those crickets outside and cleaned the container and bought new crickets.

I dont know how much bug spray was used, or how close it
was to your feeders, but I would err on the side of caution
and get rid of the feeders.
Since it happened yesterday, it's too late now, but I would have
opened the window regardless of the weather outside.
You should also have removed your gecko (s) from that room.

Stress to your Mom that pesticides can not be used around pets
or their food.
Small lizards and birds in particular are very sensitive to them.

Well I am in a room built in the basement and the only window down here is outside my room across the basement. As I said in one of my other posts I did already get rid of the feeders. I also removed my gecko from the room immediantly. Also as stated in my first post I did stress to my mom the importants of not doing that.

She is still doing okay so I think that I am out of the woods.
