How to Prepare Your Home For Termites When to Tent
WouterTermite tenting is an effective way of eradicating termites. However, it can be quite expensive. It requires sealing off the structure of the house and evacuating the home for several days.
Depending on the type of infestation, the tenting process can take six hours to a week. It is recommended that you remove your pets and children from the home before the fumigation.
After the tenting process is complete, you may experience symptoms of the fumigant, which include dizziness, nausea, headaches and lung or eye irritation. The chemicals in the tenting solution can be toxic to people and pets.
To prepare for the tenting process, you need to remove all food, beverages, and medications. You must also remove any potted plants or other houseplants that are located in the area. The chemicals used in structural fumigation can permeate the walls of the home.
Before the tenting process begins, you should make sure that your home is well ventilated. You can also rake back the gravel from the area around your home to create a tight seal.
The tenting chemicals will be pumped into the walls of the home. These chemicals are not very eco-friendly. They also contain toxic gas. The gas can get into the wood of your house. It can cause severe skin irritation and other health problems.
During the tenting process, you should also remove all uncanned foods, houseplants, and medications. These items should be double bagged with Nyoflume bags. This will help prevent the poisonous gas from penetrating the bags.
