How sensitive (if atall) are tarantulas to fly/wasp killer sprays? My dad (yeah, that guy again) has sprayed it in my room. My 2 fruit fly cultures are completely dead.

Cheers,

Estremely sensitive as are any invertebrate and small or delicate vertebrade life present in your room.
 
I suppose it depends on how close they were to the spray but I would clean all of their cages as soon as you can. Complete substrate and water changes never hurt and may save their lives.
 
Dude this one time at bandcamp....I had a whole invert room and the next room over was all snakes. and the worst thing to have when u have snakes is mights. We were spraying mite off in all of the bins on the wall doing each bin it was 8 racks 28qt bins 8 bins a rack sooo the whole wall. Not even thinking about on the other side of the wall was a WC Adult T rack. Next day there must have been 400 dead Ts:wall:
I just din't even think it would go through the wall i was wrong...dead T wrong
