Ways To Prep Your Home For Fumigation
2

• When you spotted a pest infestation in your home,
  your first step might have been to resort to
  natural methods of extermination. But in most
  cases, these methods do not ensure the complete
  eradication of pests. The next best method is
  pest fumigation.

The Process Of Fumigation

• This process usually continues for 24 to 72 hours
  unless interrupted by environmental factors. The
  fumigant when released in an enclosed space,
  penetrates the wood and other porous surfaces and
  thus attacks the hiding spots of pests.

Preparing For Fumigation

• 1. Shut off the gas source

• 2. All living things need to be removed

• 3. Eatables

• 4. Medications

• 5. Remove Plastics

• 6. Inform the neighbours

Shut off the gas source

• If you use natural gas, you have to temporarily
  shut it off before the fumigation process. The
  same applies to propane tanks too.

2. All living things need to be removed

• This includes plants, animals and humans of
  course. You cannot by any chance expose your pets
  to these chemicals since they are harmful. So
  letting them stay in the backyard is also not an
  option.

3. Eatables

• You can either remove all the edible items to
  another place or cover them properly before the
  process starts. Nylon polymer film bags are a
  good option for storing these items. This should
  be done for pet food too.

4. Medications

• The above rule applies to medicines too. You can
  remove them or make sure that they are properly
  sealed.

5. Remove Plastics

• Indoor pest control treatments like fumigation
  use chemicals that can seep under or get trapped
  under plastic covers. This can hinder the process
  of aeration as the chemical is restricted inside

6. Inform the neighbours

• This is an essential last step before you vacate
  the premises. If the neighbours are aware of the
  fumigation process, they will stay indoors to
  stay protected from harmful fumigants.

• By following the above steps, you can ensure safe
  and effective fumigation in your home. On the
  other hand, if you are looking for fumigation for
  stored food, warehouses or manufacturing plants,
  then Phosphine gas fumigation is your best option.
