Are You Ready for Home Fumigation?

No homeowner wants to face the prospect of needing a home fumigation. However, it can happen. People aren’t the only ones who enjoy the fantastic California weather. Pests find it an ideal climate as well. When the weather is nice, insects can thrive. If your home becomes attractive destination for pests seeking food and water, you can end up with an infestation. Once you know that you need a home fumigation, the best thing you can do is be prepared. How do you know if you’re ready for your home fumigation? Here are some easy boxes you can check.

Make Plans for the Family Ahead of Time

Obviously, if your home is being fumigated, you have to be out of your home. That means you need to make temporary residence plans for the family — the whole family. Any pets or fish will have to leave the home as well. You’ll also want to make sure that gas service to your home is shut off and scheduled to be restored when appropriate. Handle this more than 48 hours in advance to ensure you don’t run into any problems.

Cover Any Consumables and Look Out for Plants

Fumigation is a serious treatment method, and you don’t want it to compromise any of your food. Any uncovered or raw food, and any uncovered medicine should be removed from the home before fumigation. You’ll also want to move plants away from the patio and exterior of the home. Consider seeing if you can keep your plants at a neighbor’s house during fumigation. Which brings up another good point.

Let Your Neighbors Know that Fumigation Is Happening

It’s only polite to make your neighbors aware of home fumigation. Of course there will be signs and obvious markers that prevent people from entering the fumigated home, but it’s still nice to let your neighbors know what’s happening.
