Compare Fumigation QuotesFumigation or Spraying?
Spraying treats surfaces and leaves a residue. Gas reaches inside timber, furniture and packed goods but leaves no residue, so it does not prevent reinfestation. Most cockroach, ant and flea problems do not need fumigation.
What to Expect
- The property is empty for 1 - 3 days, including airing.
- Food, medicines, plants and pets are removed beforehand.
- Gas levels are tested and a clearance is given before anyone goes back in.
For treatments that do not need gas, compare companies on Pest Control Cape Town.
Fumigation Questions
How long do I need to stay out?
Usually 1 - 3 days, depending on the gas and the size of the structure. Do not go back in before the fumigator clears it.
Is fumigation dangerous?
Fumigants are highly toxic. That is why only registered fumigators may use them and why the site is sealed, signposted and tested before re-entry.
Will fumigation stop the pest coming back?
No. It kills what is there but leaves no residue. Ask what follow-up treatment or proofing is included.
