I need advice!! My house gets treated for termites twice a year as a precaution. Our 3 1/2 year old Sulcata has only been outside since the summer, so this is the first time I have encountered this problem. I made sure I was home today for my termite treatment. I met him at the front door and informed him of my tortoise being in one corner of my back yard and to please skip that area. I then met him in my back yard and pointed to the corner that is enclosed for the tortoise, just to make sure he saw the area I was talking about. I went inside, confident that he would skip it, but I kept my eye on him. From inside, I saw him shooting his sprayer into the enclosed area and drenching the side of my house and grass along the house. What the heck??? He obviously didn't understand my instructions. He wasn't worried about it and said it doesn't stick to the grass, it just seeps into the soil. We live in the south, so our tortoise is still able to come out daily and eat grass. I have him inside now, but I'm not sure when I should let him back out. Anyone have any advice??
