"Always check the label of the insecticide.Anywhere between 3 and 4 hours depending on if anyone has breathing problems"

"Hi there, so it really does depend on what the label recommends which can differ when different chemicals are used. Personally I'd recommend 4 hours if a potent pesticide was used or 1 hour if it was just a disinfectant that was used."

"Hi some fogging is clear after 1 hour but please check what was used others may
take up 3 hours"

"The simple answer to this is on the label of the bottle of the disinfectant. If you've used a ULV it's usually one hour."

"Depends on what it says on the label. Depends on what chemical was used."
