Answers to
commonly asked questions about fumigation with Vikane gas fumigant
|
|
|
How
much Vikane gas fumigant should be applied to my home?
|
|
|
This
can only be determined by the fumigator, as factors such as target
pest, exposure time, seal of the structure, temperature and size
of the structure are taken into account. The fumigator will calculate
the proper amount of Vikane gas fumigant to introduce using a calculator
specially designed for this purpose.
|
|
|
What
items need to be removed from my house for the fumigation?
|
|
|
Living plants and animals should be removed from the structure. Food, feed and medicinals (anything that could be ingested) should be removed or double-bagged in Nylofume* bags. This includes medicines, food, drink, toothpaste and wine bottles in which the cork is showing. If the item is an unopened, airtight can or bottle, you may leave it in the house during fumigation. Plastic covered mattresses, pillows, etc. also should be removed. This is because the plastic cover will slow aeration of the fumigant. Filled waterbeds need not be removed. |
|
| Does Vikane cause corrosion or other damage? | |
|
Sulfuryl
fluoride in the gaseous state does not react with most materials
and thus is highly unlikely to cause damage to structures or their
contents when properly applied.
|
|
 |
There is no worker
caste in a drywood termite colony. Immature termites (nymphs) perform
the work before they become adults.
Of some 30 or so insect orders, drywood termites are the only one in which all species are categorized as highly social or "eusocial". |
|
More than one million structures have been fumigated with Vikane gas fumigant over the years, including homes, museums, food-handling facilities, rare book libraries, university facilities, medical research libraries and historical landmarks such as the Hearst Castle and Flagler Museum in Florida. |
