FUMIGATION
PREPARATION/INSTRUCTIONS

What should you do to prepare for our service?

1.             All items that will be internally ingested such as food, beverages and medications (including toothpaste, mouthwash, suppositories and feminine products) must be removed from the structure prior to fumigation.  OR you may request special NYLOFUME bags and all items for human and animal consumption can be placed inside the bags.  If you wish to bag your food, the instructions that come with the bags MUST be followed or your food will be contaminated and the fumigators will throw it away for your safety.

2.             THE LAW REQUIRES that all buildings be locked during the fumigation process.  The law also requires that the doors and windows be opened during the aeration process.  Therefore, we must have keys to doors, including those that are normally kept locked, such as safes and storerooms.  KEY ARRANGEMENTS MUST BE MADE WITH THE FUMIGATION DEPARTMENT PRIOR TO FUMIGATION DATE.

3.             All people MUST leave the building during the entire fumigation process and may NOT return until the fumigators certify it safe for re-entry.  All living things must also be removed during the fumigation, this includes all animals and plants (Including fish aquariums).

4.             Remove all mattresses and pillows with plastic coverings from the structure (such as baby mattresses, no-wet mattresses or any other type of plastic covers).  Or you may remove the plastic.

5.             All heating elements must be unplugged (heaters, pianos, organs, etc…)

6.             Electricity MUST be available, as it will be necessary to run fans during the fumigation process.

7.             Shut off all automatic switch controls for appliance and lighting systems.  It is important that exterior lighting NOT come on during the fumigation process.

8.             Cut back all shrubbery and tree branches to prevent damage.  Tree branches over the roof must be trimmed. All foliage and rocks must be cleared a minimum of 12 inches around the exterior of the structure.  Thoroughly water the ground around the structure to prevent plant damage.

9.             Retract all awnings, since only you know how to operate them.

10.         All cabinets, drawers, closets and interior doors must be opened a minimum of 2 inches.  Raise blinds and open drapes.  Move any fragile items around windows to prevent damage, since we must open and close all windows during the aeration process.

11.         When masking tape must be used for sealing purposes we cannot be responsible for paint or plaster lifting when tape is removed.  Dirt is used to seal areas at the bottom of the tarp, the fumigators will return the dirt to the areas it was removed from to the best of their ability.

12.         All obstructive items such as weathervanes or antenna guide wires must be removed.

13.         The fumigators will exercise all due care in the fumigation process, but will not be responsible for broken gutters, foliage, skylights, solar panels or other inadvertent items.

14.         During the fumigation and aeration procedure, we can not be held responsible for vandalism, theft or breaking and entering.

15.         The fumigated structure MUST NOT BE RE-ENTERED UNTIL IT HAS BEEN DECLARED SAFE FOR RE-ENTRY.

 

Fumigation notices MUST be signed and in our possession before the fumigation takes place. 
If not in our possession the fumigation will be cancelled.

 

We MUST have complete access throughout the structure.

Key arrangements must be made prior to the date of fumigation.
