How do you clean your living space after a fumigation?

Answer 1

After the space has been properly aired, you will need to do a thorough cleaning. Start by carefully examining the area for any edibles that were open or exposed during the fumigation process. Any contents of an open container (like potato chips, crackers, butter left out; or sugar bowls left open, etc.) should all be discarded. Next, vacuum all dead bugs out and then clean out your vacuum or throw away the bag. Be sure to move the furniture and vacuum under all the pieces. Check your cupboards and remove all items and vacuum inside. Do the same for drawers. Vacuum the couch, chairs, curtains and other fabric items too. Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth. Throw the cloth away after you have finished. Repeat the entire process with a cloth dampened with about 50-50 vinegar and water. Do not forget places like insides of cupboards, drawers, outsides of cupboards and drawers, doors and door handles, etc. Again, throw the cloth away after you have finished. Mop your floors if they are hard surface. Don't forget surfaces in the bathroom. Although you may use your own washer and dryer (which have been wiped clean) you may wish to go to a laundromat. Wash all your bedding and vacuum the mattress. I recommend throwing out pillows.
