You really don't have to clean every thing after fogging the house. I don't and I fog every year. Depending on your house set up, you would remove or put in air tight place (dishwasher, frdge) things like tooth brushes, dishes, glasses. open all closets doors, drawers, cabinets etc. The fog has to get to every place. Afterwards just wipe counters and dining table down. Any open boxes of food you put in plastic bag or put in your car. Everything else you leave alone and do what you normally do when you normally do it. You would want to change the bedsheets after. When you go back in house, you pick up animal food bowls (they should be left there) you wash them. That's it. They do work but if infestation is extremely heavy you might have to do it twice. Make sure you buy foggers that do fleas and eggs not all do.
My parents house was infested with tiny flies, gnats or something like that. I mean infested as there wasn't a square inch in the entire house they didn't occupy(the flies that is). Even after 2 foggings back to back there were still some. It was the only way to rid the place of them. It was soooooo bad.
Cats are ok in carriers for the 2 hours. If you have a place outside you can sit and read, sit in car, or go visit someone that won't mind the animals. It's so worth it to get rid of them and be done with it. you have to treat animals at same time.
