  We recently stared having a problem with bedbugs, and I purchased some spray that indicated it was all natural ingredients and safe for pets. Sprayed the whole bed down and the carpet in the bedroom. Then I read the ingredient list to see what the strong smell could be… cedarwood oil. Ugh. The buns have been out in the livingroom, and I’ve kept our bedroom door closed all night long with some fans blowing in here, and our window open. The smell is still here this morning, but it’s not so strong anymore. My concern is letting the rabbits back into the bedroom – it’s their favorite place to play and be. How long do you think I should wait before letting them back in here? I’m concerned with them getting the oil on their paws, from the carpet.
  
  Any suggestions or notions?

  I think you need to wait until you cannot smell it anymore.
  
  From what I’ve read, the issue with cedar is the fragrance, because when it hits a rabbit, the rabbit’s liver reacts in a way that’s unhealthy. I came upon the word “phenols”, which seems to be what’s inhaled and causes the bad reaction in rabbit livers.
  
  I would also recommend doing a good vacuum of the carpet and perhaps running an air purifier in the room. I couldn’t find anything about whether phenols are something that is taken out through those methods, but I don’t think it’d hurt to try.
