REAL EXPECTATION FOR A FUMIGATION
If you take the time to explain a fumigation to the homeowner, they will have real expectations for a fumigation. As a result, it will reduce unnecessary complaints. When food is bagged and placed back into the refrigerator and freezer, make sure the bags aren't stuffed so full the doors won't close. We all know the customer will expect us to pay for the food. Wine stored horizontally with the cork wet can remain in the structure.
Have the owner open all interior attics and sub-areas accesses. The attic and sub-area accesses are important to discuss with homeowner, because there is usually storage in these areas that would be better if the owner moved them, as insulation may fall from the attic, causing them to be focused on the debris and not the great job we just did eliminating their termites.
Take time to review possible plant damage and what needs to be trimmed. Move potted plants 10' to 15' away from the structure. Also review possible damage to fragile structural items, such as tile roofs, antennas, gutters, and awnings. These items are exposed to the weather constantly and may not have their original structural integrity. Next, the fumigator must have access to dirt or cement around the entire structure to get a good seal. If there is gravel, rocks, bark, plants, or decks these items compromise the seal and must be addressed prior to the fumigation. Have the homeowner prepare these items. If we happen to damage the plastic under the bark, gravel or rock, the owner expects us to replace it and it could occur at no fault to the fumigation crew. Due to the drought it is extremely important to soak the soil around the structure. This will ensure a good seal! Next, we need to inform the homeowner that, if we must tape along a fence or wall discoloring will occur and the owner will need to repaint this area. We tape to get a good seal. If the owner understands these topics, prior to the job, they are more likely to be understanding later.
By having these items prepared, prior to the arrival of your fumigator, you will ensure a more successful fumigation experience.
