Bed bug treatment with bearded dragon

[lizdragon]

Hey. Has anyone ever dealt with getting rid of bed bugs while having a bearded dragon? Unfortunately I'm being bitten by something so I'm having someone inspect my apartment tomorrow. If they do find evidence of BBs, they will likely need to treat my apartment with a spray. Has anyone had this done and was it safe for your bearded dragon? I plan to remove my bearded dragon while they're spraying but I just wonder about the after effects. Thanks everyone.

I haven't had it done but I think you should probably take your beardie out. From what I've read they use very high heat pumped in to the rooms to kill the bugs so your enclosure could stay but all pets + feeder insects would need to be taken out so the heat doesn't kill them.

If you have the option, elect for a heat treatment as opposed to the chemical spray. The heat treatment is much more effective, but of course, you're still going to need to remove your dragon while the treatment is happening.
