How to prepare your home for fumigation
- Cover or pack away food, plates and cutlery.
- Move children's toys, clothing and bedding into closed cupboards or bags.
- Clear the floor along walls and under sinks so technicians can reach cracks and corners.
- Remove pets, birds and aquariums (or cover tanks and switch off pumps as advised).
- Plan to stay out of the property for the re-entry time your technician gives you.
- When you return, open windows, then wipe kitchen surfaces and dining tables before use.
Fumigation leaves dead pests and residue behind. Many clients pair it with a deep clean a day or two later so the home is fully clean and fresh.
How to choose a fumigation company in Lagos
- Inspection first. A good company identifies the pest and the source before quoting.
- Approved products. Ask which products they use and whether they are registered with NAFDAC.
- Clear safety instructions. You should be told how long to stay out and what to do when you return.
- Trained, uniformed technicians who wear protective equipment.
- A follow-up policy. Ask what happens if pests return within a set period.
- A written, fixed quote covering rooms, compound and any follow-up visits.
