This was trying to use it on food, not in a garage: https://mbao.org/static/docs/confs/2005-sandiego/papers/065LeeschJ THE TOXICITY OF OZONE TO BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS.pdf But I dunno if it’s the best pesticide to use. I know that ozone is pretty reactive and can damage some substances. I remember rubber being one. kagis https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1820/ML18207A768.pdf Looks like it’s also not great for steel, zinc, nylon, and some other stuff.
