If you have a pest problem in your home, you may do everything possible to get rid of it. Pests can cause structural damage and health problems to you and your family. The best thing you can do is get rid of them once and for all so you can get a good night's sleep. Sometimes hiring pest control personnel to spray pests does not solve the problem. If this is the case, you may want to know about structural fumigation. The structure sulfuryl fluoride fumigant involves the release of toxic gases throughout the home to ensure the elimination of any pests. To answer some of your initial questions, here are a few things you should know about structural fumigation:

Seals, tarps and warnings
Before starting structural fumigation, pest control needs to seal your home with a large tarp to lock in the toxic gases released during the process. They will post warning signs to prevent anyone from approaching the building. For safety, it is best to warn your neighbors and give them brief structural fumigation education to prevent them from approaching or entering poison-filled houses.

Remove all live or edible
Are there pet goldfish? A bird? How about some fresh fruit? These are things that should be removed before structure fumigation. The gas released into your home during this process contains Refrigerant R507, which is a toxic gas that is likely to kill any pets you leave at home. As far as food is concerned, it is sometimes safe to double-bag it and leave it inside, but for safety reasons, we recommend taking out all food before constructing Refrigerant R507. Even food in the refrigerator should be taken out, because sulfuryl fluoride will penetrate all the crevices to ensure that pests are eliminated.
