What Do I Need to Do to Get My Facility Ready for Termite Fumigation?
Good termite fumigation preparation starts with knowing what needs to leave the building and what can stay. Any open food, beverages, or medications must be removed or sealed in special fumigation bags—your pest control provider will supply these. Factory-sealed items in cans or glass are generally fine to leave. That covers the most common question around what can be left in your property during fumigation: sealed, non-consumable items are typically safe; anything open that could be ingested needs to go.
Beyond food and meds, your termite tenting preparation checklist should include: arranging for staff and any occupants to vacate the premises for the required period, ensuring water and electricity stay on, and having your gas supply turned off by the gas company before tenting begins. Plants, pets, and fish tanks also need to be removed. Once the structure is cleared and your provider confirms gas levels are at zero, it’s safe to re-enter—you don’t need to wash dishes, linens, or surfaces afterward. Your fumigation team will walk you through everything specific to your building ahead of time, so don’t hesitate to ask them questions beforehand.
