Preparing your house for fumigation involves several critical steps to ensure safety and effectiveness. Vacate the premises as all occupants, including pets, must leave the property during fumigation and remain away until it is safe to return. Remove or seal consumables, including food items in refrigerators and freezers, using special bags provided by the fumigation company. This also applies to medications and pet food. Protect personal items such as toothbrushes, cosmetics, and toiletries by sealing or removing them to prevent exposure to fumigants. Unplug all electrical devices to prevent potential hazards and ensure fumigators have access to all areas, including attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
