Steps to address pesticides & VOC

So I just moved into a new rental property. It is in good condition and only 2 years old, however, the prior tent had "flea treatment" done and I'm having a terrible reaction. I also believe the carpet may be off gassing as it has strong smell.

Do anyone have any practical tips to speed the break down of pesticides? I wondered if spreading binder like Bi-carb soda and vacuuming would help.
