You could contact your local environmental health department at your local council to seek their advice. Also ask your landlord to ensure that only the affected areas are to be treated. Your landlord may also be obliged to arrange alternative accommodation whilst the treatment is being carried out and for a reasonable non-return time. You could also ask that only boron based treatments be used if all else fails.
