Question from Anne Donahue

Hi Debra, I like the new website. I found a nice rental home to move to but the landlords told me they fumigated it for termites about 3 years ago. I am chemically sensitive and was wondering if it would be safet to live there? Would their be any residue left if it was 3 yrs ago? Thanks so much, Anne

Debra’s Answer

Whether or not there would be any residue left depends on

1) the fumigant used and how long it takes to break down
2) the conditions (moisture, air flow, temperature, etc)

If you can find out what the name of the fumigant is, I can give you more information.
