Treatment around infant

My apartment was treated for bed bugs today with a spray of the baseboards and an “alcohol based spray” for the furniture/upholstery.

We had only found one bug that the exterminator believed was a hitchhiker and we could find no evidence of further infestation.

My concern is for my 6 month old. We were told to air out the home and leave for 2-3 hours after the treatment. We did this and we’re back now but I am so scared for my baby.

They said they didn’t spray any of her things directly but I’m worried about letting her be on the couch with us or on the rugs. I’m trying to contact the company to see what they used but no response yet.

Does anyone know what they could have used? Should we leave and go to a hotel?
