To prepare for fumigation, follow these essential steps to ensure safety and effectiveness. All residents, including pets, must vacate the property and stay away until it is deemed safe to return. Any consumables, such as food stored in the refrigerator or freezer, as well as medications and pet supplies, should be either removed or sealed in the specialized bags provided by the fumigation service. Personal care items like toothbrushes, cosmetics, and toiletries should also be securely stored or taken off-site to avoid contact with the fumigants. Disconnect all electronic devices to prevent any potential issues, and make sure the fumigation team has full access to all parts of your home, including crawl spaces, basements, and attics.
