You'll have to remove the tortoises and their habitats until after the spraying.

Nice bite, I have one that looked like that, it has dried up some but still itches almost constantly, I don't spray for bugs often but if I do, I cover anything I want to protect with lite weight poly. I raise bugs in the garage and sometimes I do a controlled spray to keep down the earwigs, crickets and other things that wander in from outside, and the poly is left on until the spray is settled and dry and my feed bugs are fine afterward. If you use a fogger I would remove the torts and enclosures though.

Wow! That doesn't look fun. I'm weighing spraying when our torts are down for brumation. The crickets and black widows are taking over the joint. Do you have the option of doing that?
