Living next to a tented house undergoing fumigation is generally safe. Licensed pest control professionals follow strict safety protocols to ensure that fumigants are contained within the tented structure. The fumigation process involves sealing the house and introducing gaseous pesticides to eliminate pests like termites. After treatment, the house is ventilated to allow the fumigant to dissipate before residents return. As a precaution, it’s advisable to keep windows closed and avoid the immediate vicinity during the fumigation process.
