Preparing your home for tenting involves several critical steps to ensure safety and the effectiveness of the fumigation process. First, all occupants, including pets, must vacate the premises and arrange for accommodations elsewhere during the fumigation period. Remove or double-bag all consumables, such as food, beverages, and medications, using special bags provided by the fumigation company. This precaution prevents contamination from fumigants. Personal items like toothbrushes, cosmetics, and toiletries should also be sealed or removed. Unplug all electrical appliances and turn off gas lines to prevent potential hazards. Ensure that fumigators have access to all areas of the home, including attics, basements, and crawl spaces, by unlocking doors and gates. Additionally, trim back any plants or shrubs near the structure to allow the tent to fit securely.
