Caller sprayed the entire basement area of her house and had no issues at all. She then bought several more cans from a different store to treat the rest of her house. She used 1 can in all 3 bedrooms on Friday 22-JAN-2021. Caller noticed a strong chemical smell for days afterwards. She found she could not be in these rooms for more than 10 minutes without developing symptoms After she left the room she would feel better within about an hour. She applied baking soda to the carpeting and let it sit for 36 hours before vacuuming the area thoroughly and staying out of the treated area. Now the odor has subsided and she can return to the treated rooms without symptoms recurring.
