Day 1, we arrive at the property and conduct an initial inspection of the property to ensure it is safe to proceed. Once it is safe to proceed, we continue to "wrap" the structure using tarps. Once we have the tarps in place, we proceed to release the Vikane Gas. Once the appropriate amount has been released, the property is left. Day 2, the crew removes the tarps from the structure, allowing for the property to "air out". This process is aided with large fans. Once the property has been properly aired out, the crew once again leaves. Day 3, (usually in the morning), the crew enters the property to inspect with special instruments to determine the air quality. Once the air quality is at a safe level, the licensed fumigator certifies the property and it is now Safe for Re-Entry. This treatment comes with a two year warranty for existing infestations.
