Follow California state regulations and do not re-enter your home until it has been tested and certified for re-entry by a licensed fumigator.
Meet with the gas company to restore service.* Make sure to leave the clearance notices on the gas meter and front door in place: the gas company must see them to turn the gas back on.
Turn back on any devices and timers.
It is unnecessary to wash dishes, linens, clothing, etc., as the fumigant is a gas that will dissipate from the structure and its contents.
Drawers and cabinets will be left open for the aeration process. You may now close them.
Be aware of the following:
Fumigation is targeted at drywood termites. It does not kill spiders. It does not kill the eggs of other insects. You will see other insects inside your home.
Fumigation will kill any mice, rats, or other mammals in the structure. This is not good. If you suspect a rodent/wildlife infestation it is critical that it is dealt with before fumigation.
Fumigation will leave behind the remains of dead termites. This will cause no smell and is no hazard to human health; however, occasionally ants will enter a home to feast on the dead termites. If this occurs your options are to wait it out or to request an ant treatment. (Yes, you may order an ant treatment in advance as a precaution.)
Fumigation provides no lasting protection from drywood termites. Fumigation leaves no residue; this is why you do not have to wash everything in your house after fumigation. Your fumigation is backed by a 2-year warranty. Thrasher Pest offers an extended warranty. More information will be provided to you soon. Please consider protecting the investment you are making in a termite-free home.
