Fumigation Services help to rid a home of pests such as termites. The entire home is tented and sealed to ensure the gasses that are released for fumigation stay within the home and kill the insect pests that are residing inside. Before this process commences, it is vital a homeowner properly prepares their home and is ready for the fumigation. These tips will help homeowners to prepare so their fumigation can be carried out as safely and effectively as possible.
These four steps are vital for homeowners before their fumigation begins:
- All pets need to be removed from the home before the Fumigation Services begin. The pesticides used in the fumigation can be harmful to pets of all types so they will need to be removed until the fumigation company says it is okay for them to return. Most pet owners place their pets in a kennel or leave them with family or friends until the services have been carried out.
- Fumigation treatments can also affect the plant life in a home. All living plants should be removed from the home because they can be damaged by the gasses that will be released during the treatment. If plants are left in place, they will likely die from exposure. If the weather is warm, it behooves an owner to set their plants in the outdoors, away from the home’s structure until the services have been completed.
- Food covering is vital to ensure it does not become contaminated. While canned food will be safe during the fumigation, other foods can absorb the gases. Homeowners will need to take special precautions for double sealing their food and ensuring it is protected. Some homeowners prefer to entirely remove all of their food from the home to be sure it does not become contaminated.
- When the fumigation team comes in, they will place a tent over the home, and it will be attached to the soil around the property. Some fumigation companies ask their customers to fully moisten the soil around the home so the tent will be able to adhere properly to the soil, creating a solid seal so the fumigation gasses will not be able to escape.
