At some point, you might need fumigation for your home or office. The service could require a few adjustments to your regular routine, which is why the team at Danny’s Termite Control says you should know more about the process before getting started. Based in Lancaster, KY, the company provides pest control solutions to keep the homes and businesses of residents in the area free of infestations. Below, the commercial and residential pest control specialists highlight a few important points about the fumigation process.

How to Prepare for Service

Lancaster-Kentucky-pest-controlFumigation uses lethal gas to kill bugs in enclosed spaces. Because the fumes are toxic, all occupants, pets, and plants need to be removed before work begins. Seeds and bulbs used for planting and unsealed food should be removed to prevent contamination. Otherwise, anything that remains in the space should be placed in sealed containers and plastic bags. The pest control expert will also ask about the location of vents, drains, and any other structural elements that could spread the gas to nearby buildings. After interiors are cleared and vents are sealed, the structure is encased in plastic, vinyl-coated materials.

What to Expect During the Process

From the size of the building to dosage levels and temperature, many factors contribute to how long fumigation takes. On average, the service could last anywhere from a few hours to a week. A notice will be posted on the building when it is deemed safe for reentry. If you feel nausea or dizzy after going back inside, call a medical specialist immediately.  

How Fumigation Affects Bugs

Fumigation is designed to kill drywood termites, spiders, cockroaches, wood-boring beetles, and additional insects. Some pests bury their nests deep in the ground, creating a barrier between their homes and the fumigants, so additional pest control treatment might be necessary to squash recurrences.
