After termite fumigation, it’s typically safe to return home 24 to 72 hours after the treatment. The exact timeline depends on the fumigant used & how long it takes to ventilate the home properly.
Re-Entry Timeline
- Fumigation Process (1 – 2 Days) – The house is sealed, & the fumigant is applied.
- Ventilation (12 – 48 Hours) – The fumigant is ventilated out of the home to ensure air quality is safe.
- Clearance (1 – 3 Days) – The pest control company will test the air quality to ensure it’s safe to re-enter.
What to Expect
- Clearance Tags – You’ll receive a clearance tag from the fumigation company when it’s safe to return.
- Safety Checks – The house is checked for residual gases before you re-enter.
It typically takes 1-3 days after fumigation to return home, always wait for the clearance from your pest control professionals. This ensures a safe environment & peace of mind.
