OK, this might be a little bizarre, but I need to let loose a flea fogger in my basement. I've got a bunch of cards, magazines, and photos displayed down there. I'm trying to figure out if I should just take it all down and then put it back up afterwards, or since most of the items are in some type of "top loader" if that's safe enough. Anyone had to go through this before?

    Cover the areas with painters plastic, you can pick up a roll for around $5 and it will cover an entire room if needed. Just surround the boxes, or whatever and tape it shut.

    I don't know if this is the same thing, but we had our house tented and fumigated for termites and I asked the guy from the company about any issues with my cards and he said since it was a gas, that there is no leftover residue or anything.

    The fogger may use some kind of aerosol. so you may want to cover up stuff, or remove it if not a big problem. Make sure you don't take any fleas with you or they will be right back.

    Secondly, get your pets on a regular course of Frontline or Adavantage type flea treatment. We haven't had any fleas for 5-6 years now and we're in a semi-rural area with lots of critters roaming around at night.

    I would NOT ever put another dog on Frontline or Advantax. My dog is 6, and got lung cancer from them. We and our vet oncologist have no doubt it was that, and if you google the cases its pretty convincing. It's an extremely toxic chemical and it's like fighting mosquitos with a hbomb.
    Cancer sucks.

    Sorry for the OT, but for pet lovers, try Trifexis as an alt to what Anthony noted above. My 10 year old pug has been on it from day one w/ no side effects.
