A little tip for next time, hopefully there won't be one.

Buy an air quality monitor and have someone else on standby to call emergency services (make sure they do not follow you in under any circumstances)

If the CO2 got high enough you could pass out before you realise what's happening, then asphyxiate. Presumably your truck wasn't on for long enough and your shed wasn't air tight enough for it to be a problem but confined spaces and CO2 can be a deadly combination.

But he's not inside the shed while he's gassing it, so as long as he opens the door and airs it out before he goes in to spray it he should be fine.

CO2 ain’t what you gotta worry about coming out of exhaust. It’s the CO that’ll kill you

Yea like the other comment said I let it air out for a good half hour-45 minutes before I went back in with the doors wide open and it was a windy enough day so I figured it was okay but good call, co2 can be super dangerous and you’re right that by the time I realized something was wrong it would be too late
