Tampa Fumigation FAQs
Don’t see your question answered? Get in touch today!
What is fumigation?
Fumigating is a pest control method that’s used to get rid of pests, particularly the drywood species of termite, in a structure such as a house. It may also get rid of other types of pests, such as bed bugs and beetles. Trained pest control technicians use gaseous chemicals known as fumigants to kill or suffocate pests. Fumigation may be recommended by Tampa pest control professionals when other, less invasive processes aren’t effective.
How long should you stay out of the house after fumigation?
In order to ensure that fumigation is effective and that sufficient time has been allowed for complete aeration (which makes it safe for you to re-enter your home), you may need to stay out of the structure for about 72 hours. Our fumigation experts will make sure that the structure is completely free of fumigant before giving you the green light to return.
Does fumigation ruin my belongings?
Items that may be damaged or made unusable by the fumigation process will need to be removed before that process begins. Our team will review the complete list with you, which will include these items and more:
- Medicines, including those you may be storing in the freezer or refrigerator
- All foods and beverages meant for consumption by humans or pets
- All live house plants and living animals, including fish
- Mattresses in baby cribs, bassinets and other similar items
- High-density and other types of foam mattresses
Many other types of items may remain in your home during fumigation, such as some consumable items that are in the original manufacturer’s containers with airtight seals intact, including bottles and cans.
Do I need to clean after fumigation?
A thorough cleaning should be done to ensure that no items that should have been removed from the house were overlooked and to get rid of dead pests. Cleaning tasks should include wiping down all surfaces, vacuuming floors, furniture, rugs, and inside of drawers and cabinets. This is just a partial list of what should be cleaned after fumigation—please ask your Turner Pest Control fumigation technician for more details.
What is the fumigation process?
There are several parts to the overall fumigation process, which your Turner Pest Control technician will be glad to review with you. Generally, fumigation includes:
- Your preparation steps, such as removing food, pets, medicine and more; opening drawers and cabinet doors; making sure the area around your home where the tent will fall is clear; and more.
- Covering the entire structure with tarps, and securing them around your foundation.
- Securing your home with secondary locks and putting up warning signs
- Applying fumigants
- Aerating the structure after fumigation
- Removing the tarps
- Sampling the air inside the structure to ensure it’s safe for you to return
- Removing warning signs and secondary locks
Does fumigation keep drywood termite infestations from coming back?
Fumigation is used because it’s so effective at killing drywood termite colonies, but it does not provide residual effectiveness that would keep these pests from returning. Our termite and fumigation experts can recommend steps you can take to reduce the chances that drywood termites will re-infest your home.
Does Turner Pest Control offer other types of termite control?
Yes! Our experienced and highly trained termite pros provide superior termite extermination services that exceed the minimum treatment specifications that many other pest control companies adhere to.
