Ove the weekend I made a start preparing my formicariums, etc after a few years out of the hobby. I will be odering colonies today or tomorrow.
As my bedroom is pretty large in my place, I will be keeping them in a corner of my bedroom that is perfect for them.
Today I realised I did something foolish... I am always careful with what I do around my colonies (in the past) that may affect them. I was spraying anti-perspirant today when I thought "oh no, it will settle over my outworlds and formicarium's I have set up".
I will rinse the ones I can with water, but some are not so easy to rinse with water.
QUESTION: I will not have any colonies at least until mid week. As long as I learn from my stupid mistake and do not spray anymore, is it safe to say what was sprayed and may have settled, will not pose a risk by the time they arrive?
PS: I am very careful with spraying any kind of aerosols in the bedroom or sprays like Febreeze... this was just a silly mistake from an 'out of condition' ant keeper!
