  typically a couple times a year, especially at the beginning of summer, we have someone come out and spray the inside and outside of the house for bugs. We have started seeing spiders in our house so we are getting ready to call them to come out.
  
  This is the first year we have ever had a rabbit in our house. It has never affected our dogs or cats but I know how different rabbits are.
  
  Eli is confined to one room and only occasionally gets to explore outside of it so if it was harmful to him we could just not have that room sprayed. Ideally, it would be nice to have the whole house sprayed for bugs so I wanted to know if it would be terrible to have him spray in Eli’s room as well.
  
  Eli likes to lay against/dig at the sides of the room so he would come in contact with the areas where it is sprayed as the bug guy sprays the perimeter of the rooms. I could leave him in his pen for a day or two and maybe that would give the spray time to settle and not be as stone? (Eli would still have room to get exercise even if he didn’t get to come out for a day or two. It’s 10ftx10ft)
  
  Anyone have thoughts on this?

  I would be inclined to not spray any areas with which your bunny comes in contact. Bunnies can experience different sensitivities to things like this than dogs/cats, and you don’t want to risk it. I would talk to the company, find out about all the products they use, and do as much research as you can.
