Hi rankin, I would explain to the pest control people about your husbands health issues and they can then go through with you what any treatment might involve. There may well be something they can do that doesn’t involve anything toxic.

You and your husband may well have to sleep elsewhere for one night at least.

Wishing you well. Xxxxx

Have you thought of using a more natural way of getting rid of the beetles instead of using chemicals?

I looked it up on the internet. Essential Oil Peppermint, Granular Borax, or Cedar Balls. There are many ways to rid of unwanted bugs without the use of harmful chemicals.
