Have some where to stay. A fumigation can take from 3-5 days depending on the size of the structure and dosage of treatment. You will not be allowed to enter the property under any circumstances once the tent begins to go up.
Seal up all food and medication. Food and medication must be properly stored in highly resistant containers. Black Knight Pest will provide the owner with necessary bags at no added cost to seal other items that are not in the containers and securely be placed in the refrigerator.
Plants and pets need to be completely removed from inside the home. Pets should be off the property completely.
Make arraignments vehicles parked on the property. All vehicles and trailers should be off the property for duration of Fumigation.
Hold mail if needed.
Make any necessary arrangements for added security if you feel the need to.
Schedule gas shut-off and when it can restored with your gas company. If you are working with Black Knight Pest they will handle turn-off for you. The owner will just need to schedule turn on.
