What is
fumigation?
If fumigation is not feasible ….
Tenting carefully
houses for fumigation is a common sight in residential neighborhoods. It’s an
effective method of getting rid of termites and other pests. A professional
termite removal company encloses your house with a secure tent, using
vinyl-coated nylon tarpaulin. They make use of a lethal gas to get rid of the
dangerous creatures that cause havoc in your house.
There are pre-
and post fumigation steps you need to follow carefully. You should move out
your family, pets and indoor plants to a safe place. You should remove food
materials, medicines and seeds kept for planting. A minimum of six hours and a
maximum of a week will be required for completion of fumigation, depending on
the degree of infestation.
After
fumigation, you need to put up a sign in a prominent place of your house,
giving all the details of the work done.

There are very
strict guidelines on the use of the type, the quantity and the strength of
fumigation chemicals. There are others on the tenting process and the clean up
and safety measures that have to be put in place. However, you may feel fumigation
is not a desirable option for your own reasons.
It could cause
additional risks to some people in your family who are battling already allergies
or health conditions. It may be inconvenient to move seniors or sick people for
the duration of tenting. You may not be inclined to remove your pets, indoor
plants and other materials.
Besides these
cases, there can be a number of other situations where the use of fumigation
may not be a practicable option. However, you just cannot put your home at risk
by giving termites free rein. You will surely look for other options.
