Any turtle owners ever have to get an exterminator???

Question

So I have an exterminator coming over to deal with a bug problem, and I have a Red Eared Slider turtle. Do you think he'll be safe with the exterminator spraying the stuff in the house? Anyone have this issue before??

Answer 1

as long as its not fumes, it it is take him out side in a shady area or sunny but must be watched

Answer 2

um I have 2 turtles and 6 baby ones .. that my mom got me and we had a bug problem .. and we had a exterminator come to the house and we left the turtles there and they survived they were ok  

Answer 3

Don't risk his life. If people aren't allowed to stay neither should the turtle.

No remove him from the house and seal off his tank after you drain it.

Answer 4

The pest control people that do my house always recommended that we cover any caged animals with a sheet. That way they can still breath but if there are any fumes they dont get in. I take sheets and pillowcases and lay them over the top of my snake and gecko cages!
