To ensure a smooth, effective fumigation, some prep goes a long way. Here’s how to get ready—with minimal stress!

1. Inform Everyone

Let household members know well in advance. Empty fridges and pantries, and plan meals away from the house.

2. Secure Valuables

Remove plants, fish tanks, and oxygen tanks. Pack away open food, pet dishes, medications, and cosmetics.

3. Seal Up Rooms

Technicians may ask you to close all windows, doors, and vents—to contain fumigants properly and protect unpackaged items.

4. Protect Pets & Plants

Relocate pets and plants off-site for the recommended duration. Make arrangements for boarding if needed.

5. Clean Surfaces

Wipe counters and floors to remove residue and improve efficacy. Repair loose tiles or baseboards for better sealed treatment areas.

6. Aftercare

When technicians give clearance, ventilate—air out rooms for the advised number of hours before re-entry. Wash bedding and clothing to remove any residual odor.

With these steps, you ensure treatments work fully, safely—and get your space back sooner, with no fuss.
