Exterminator sprayed naphthalene under house.
I’m in a very odd situation at the house that I am renting. On January 8th, an exterminator came to spray a vapor under my house to flush out a skunk. He assured my landlord that the vapor would be 100% safe for people and animals. It turns out the vapor that he was talking about was his own creation of taking Enoz “old fashioned moth flakes” and dissolving them in water. These moth flakes are over 95% naphthalene and it actually says directly on the packaging (I looked up the product) that it mate be fatal to inhale and is not safe for humans or domestic animals. He actually sprayed it underneath my house while myself and my dog were home. Despite his words, I left with my dog within ten minutes because the smell was ridiculously strong and upsetting my stomach, nostrils, and head.
I have called the NPIC, the state advisory board for pest control, and multiple air quality and industrial hygiene companies. Nobody knows what to do or how dangerous this situation is because the exterminator used it in an apparently unheard of manner. I desperately need to know how unsafe this situation could be and need some advice on how to get rid of the smell both from inside the house and from underneath the house. We tried airing it out by digging holes going underneath the house but pipes froze very quickly as I am located in Maine, so we cannot continue to do that.
I apologize for the long-winded story and I typed this on my phone so I apologize for the formatting if it’s bad but I am extremely desperate and if anyone has even the slightest clue as to what direction I should be moving in on this, it will be greatly appreciated.
