A member asked:

Is it safe for a baby to be in a home that was bug bombed the day before?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably OK: Is it your house? Or are you just visiting? Was the "bug bomb" done by a professional or just the homeowner. If professional - ask them when safe. If homeowner - how many "bug bombs" did they use?There is still pesticide residue on carpets etc. If you are just visiting you might want to keep him/her off the floor. I am assuming they aired it out/ventilated it well before allowing anyone back in.
