I have an old snake cage I used briefly last summer. During that time I used Provent-A-Mite, a strong anti-mite pesticide spray, inside the tank. Since then the tank has been cleaned with hot water, and all ornaments have been thrown out. But O'm still cautious.
My question is... Could this tank be used to house a tarantula now, a year after having been treated with the chemical?

I wouldn't risk it. Tanks are cheap enough. Heck, you can keep a spider in a $1 plastic rubbermaid tote. You never know if that stuff is still around, the residue may never leave. Not worth the life of a spider if you ask me.
