As a property owner or prospective real estate buyer or seller, you might have questions regarding whole-structure fumigation. Here you will find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about whole-structure fumigation and the fumigation process.
The typical house fumigation involves approximately 18-24 hours of exposure. After the fumigation is complete, your fumigator aerates the fumigant from the structure following label instructions, and tests the air with sensitive gas monitoring equipment to confirm that it is safe to re-enter the building.
Your fumigator will release chloropicrin into the structure at least 5 to 10 minutes prior to introducing Vikane.
If you have professional photographic materials, we recommend placing developing materials and fixing solutions in sealed bottles or creating new solutions after the fumigation. Do not leave developing materials in open trays.
Vikane does not react with common household furnishings when properly applied. This is why fumigation with Vikane is an established method used to eradicate pests infesting delicate and rare biological and historical museum artifacts.
