Interior Preparation

-
All items for human consumption such as foods, beverages, drugs and medicines which are not in air tight containers such as sealed glass or metal MUST be removed from the structure prior to fumigation. If you wish to leave these items inside the structure they MUST be sealed in doubled Nylofume bags provided by Bowman Termite and Pest Management, LLC. This includes food in refrigerators and freezers.

Remove all mattresses and pillows with waterproof covers, such as, "can't wet" mattresses for infants or sickrooms. If these items cannot be removed you MUST remove the covers on them. (REMOVE Cover for bed bug treatments)

All heating elements must be unplugged (heaters, pianos, organs, printers, computers, etc.) and if there are gas appliances with pilot lights the gas MUST be turned off.

Turn off all heaters and air conditioners

We recommend that valuables, such as jewelry and cash be either locked in a safe deposit box or removed from the structure prior to fumigation. Bowman Termite & Pest Management, LLC will not be held responsible for these items.

All people must leave and all living things such as animals and plants must be removed from the structure prior to the start of the fumigation.
