Question from Jenny
Help-our neighbors just fumigated their home today. The house is behind us about 50 feet. But never the less on the side of babies room. Their home is entirely tented. I am hoping if we close our windows it will be enough. Do we need to relocate until this is done?? Thank you so much!!
Debra’s Answer
The whole point of tenting is to enclose the toxic fumigation gas so it doesn’t escape.
I wasn’t able to find anything on the internet about people being harmed outside of the tent.
But I did find an article that explains the safety measures used in fumigation: Are Termite Tenting & Fumigation Safe?
This article also says that once the home has been aired and cleaned properly, there is no residue of the fumigant left. They warn that tenting and fumigating does not offer protection against future termite infestations.
