Fumigation is the process where insects are eliminated from a structure with the use of lethal gas. Fumigations are carried out using essentially two chemicals: Vikane Gas Fumigant (Sulfuryl Fluoride) and Methyl Bromide also a gas fumigant. These gases are odorless and colorless and leave no residue. Therefore, prior to the fumigation, applicators introduce trace amounts of Chloropicrin. Chloropicrin (Tear gas) has a strong odor and will cause respiratory and eye irritation.
In September 2000, the California Department of Pesticide Regulation initiated new procedural regulations that have made the use of Methyl Bromide fumigant extremely impractical and costly. The result, of these new regulations, was to essentially stop the use of Methyl Bromide as a structural fumigant in the State of California. Items to be addressed in preparation for the fumigation of the average home are:
1. All people, pets, (including fish and/or fish tanks), and plants must be removed from the home. If it's 'living', take it out!
2. All food and medicinals should be removed or sealed in special bags (your contractor will inform you about these fume-bags) according to the instructions from the fumigator.
3. Outside plants close to the structure should be cut back from the house to allow workers access to the walls of the building. The perimeter of the structure should be heavily watered to help prevent the fumigant from moving into the soil and affecting the plants.
4. Antennas, chimney caps, and weather vanes should be removed.
5. Fences without gates attached to the house may need to have some boards removed to allow the tarps to reach the ground.
6. The Vikane label states, "Remove mattresses (except waterbeds) and pillows which are completely enveloped in waterproof covers or remove covers."
All mattresses encased in permanent, waterproof coverings must be removed from the structure prior to the introduction of the fumigant, including infant mattresses. Detachable waterproof covers may be removed from the mattress or pillow in lieu of removing the object from the structure. Box springs are considered mattresses for the purposes of this determination.
