Fumigation is an effective tool when used in conjunction with your pest control treatments and will ensure the elimination of the infested items in a single treatment. While your apartment is being treated by Pest Away, infested belongings are transferred to an offsite location for fumigation through the use of trained moving partners. It has been proven that 70 - 90 percent of bed bug infestations reside in the contents of an infected area. By having these infested contents removed for fumigation it also allows Pest Away better access to treat the infested area within the dwelling and results in a more thorough treatment. Detailed guidelines for packing and preparation are provided to clients to ensure success. This methodology has proven to expedite the eradication process.

The fumigant that is typically used is called Vikane gas. It was introduced in 1961 by Dow Agro Science and is approved for use on articles such as Clothing, Musical Equipment, Electronics, Artwork, Furniture, Historical Documents and other personal items. It is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas that leaves no residue and replaces oxygen required to sustain life, this makes it effective through the entire life cycle including the egg stage. These characteristics make it a superior and viable solution for immediate, effective bed bug elimination in conjunction with your traditional pest control treatments.

After fumigation your belongings will be safely stored until the pest control provider treats your dwelling and verifies that the structure is also bed bug free. Once this has been determined your fumigated items may be returned. Call our office more detailed information.
