FAQs About Fumigation Services in Orlando
What pests are most commonly targeted with fumigation in Orlando?
Termites and bed bugs are the most frequent culprits, but fumigation also addresses cockroaches, ants, rodents, and stored product pests. The warm climate in Orlando encourages rapid pest reproduction, making fumigation an essential tool for deep infestations.
Is fumigation safe for my family and pets?
Yes, when performed by trained professionals following strict safety protocols. Our team provides step-by-step preparation instructions and confirms re-entry safety through post-treatment monitoring, so your home is ready and safe when you return.
How long will I need to leave my home during fumigation?
Most residential fumigation projects require a vacancy of 24 to 72 hours. The exact timeline depends on the size of your home, the type of pest, and the treatment used. We’ll give you a clear schedule so you can plan ahead.
Do I need fumigation or standard pest control?
If you’ve tried sprays, traps, or spot treatments without success—or if pests continue returning—it may be time for fumigation. Our team will inspect your property and recommend the best course of action based on your unique circumstances.
Are there any Orlando-specific pests I should be aware of?
Yes, Central Florida homes often struggle with drywood termites, German cockroaches, and Formosan subterranean termites. These species thrive in the Orlando climate and frequently require fumigation for complete removal.
What should I do before fumigation begins?
We’ll provide a detailed prep list that includes sealing or removing food, medications, pets, plants, and sensitive electronics. Our team will walk you through the steps to make sure everything is secure before we begin.
Can businesses in Orlando remain operational during fumigation?
In most cases, commercial properties will need to close temporarily. We work with business owners to schedule treatments during off-hours or slow periods and help minimize downtime as much as possible.
Will fumigation prevent pests from returning?
Fumigation eliminates current infestations but doesn’t act as a permanent barrier. We include post-treatment advice and optional follow-up services to help you fortify your property against future invasions.
Is fumigation regulated in Florida?
