Pest control at home with a newborn

Hi - my baby is 5 weeks old, I am interested in doing pest control to create a safer environment for her. However since this could have chemicals is it safe to take the baby to another home for a day or two ? Or is it ok for her to stay in a room while this happens around the house ? If I have to take her outside for how many days should be safe to return?

Scared/shocking reaction

My son is 3 months old, he is on complete breastfeed. He is properly burping, farting, passing stool and gaining weight. He was in NICO for initial 7 days. Problem - He is giving reaction which we are unable to identify i.e. suddenly opening eyes wide, just looking straight and crying alot We have to calm him down and he gets normal within 10 seconds. He is giving this reaction while sleeping. Sometimes he doesnt give this reaction for days and sometimes he react like this multiple times a day. Should we be concerned about this ? What should be done

Diaper rash or Strep infection

Our 20 days old son has rash around his anus area from past 8-10 days. We applied Soliderm for 6 days as suggested by his pediatrician but see no improvement. Have started using Flutivate E as suggested by his pediatrician since Friday but we do not see much difference yet. We never used diapers instead we used cotton langots. We did use wet wipes in the start, but after these rashes appeared, we started using cotton and plain water to clean. Looking for a second opinion now. Is it really only a rash? Or is it a Strep infection or any other infection?his feed is good,feeding almost every 1 and half hours. He is passing urine 10-12 times a day and stool around 4-5 times a day. Please advice.
