cabinets. This includes all food items, pots, pans, utensils,
etc. Anything that is stored in the cabinet should be removed.
(This pertains if infestation is found in food storage area.)
2. Remove all items from the counter top.
A good place to place these items is on the table or in
the middle of a linoleum/tile floor in another room.
3. Place some type of protective covering
over the items that have been removed from the areas. This
covering can include blankets, sheets, towels and plastic.

by covering.
5. Cover fish tanks with plastic or cloth
and disconnect or unplug the air supply. All other pets
should be removed from the home during the treatment.

as well. This means that you should look for items that
need to be removed to allow us access to the hiding places
that the general pest live in, the cracks and crevices.
7. Vacuum the carpeted areas prior to our
arrival.
8. Remove all toys or clothing from the
floor area.

that might go into the mouth, contact food, or come into
direct contact with food. These type items should be covered
for protection.

after the treatment. Be sure to open the windows and air
the home when you return after the treatment.
Zap Termite & Pest Control MUST
have a key to the structure. The utmost care will be taken
during fumigations to avoid any possible roof or plant damage.
However, in the case of brittle wood shingles or tile, there
is always the possibility of some breakage. Where climbing
plants and vines must be detached from the buildings or trellises
removed, damage may be unavoidable. Plants that are too close
to the building to allow proper sandbagging of the tarps may
be damaged. We can assume NO responsibility for damage resulting
from these conditions.
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY
ALL PERSONS AND ANIMALS MUST VACATE
THE PREMISES ON OR BEFORE ARRIVAL OF THE FUMIGATION CREW.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN ANYONE ENTER THE BUILDING UNTIL
THE FUMIGATION COMPANY'S NOTICE IS POSTED GIVING THE TIME
AND DATE FOR SAFE RE-ENTRY. FUMIGATION CANNOT COMMENCE WITHOUT
THIS SIGNED NOTICE IN FUMIGATOR'S POSSESSION.
