Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Snikcers should be fine. I would be more worried if he came in contact with an area that was sprayed. We can't even be sure that this particular bug even contacted the chemical. To be safe you can always rinse his mouth out well with water and wash his face. Have a great day!
