How to Prepare Your Home or Office for Fumigation

At Yuka Fumigation and Cleaning Services, we believe in making the fumigation process smooth, safe, and effective. Whether you’re dealing with bedbugs, cockroaches, termites, or any stubborn pests, proper preparation ensures that the treatment works—and that your home or office is protected.

 

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you prepare your space for fumigation in Nairobi and its surroundings:

 

 

—

 

1. Inform Everyone in Advance

 

Make sure everyone living or working in the space is aware of the fumigation date and time. Pets, children, and anyone with respiratory issues should stay away for the advised duration.

2. Declutter the Space

 

Remove unnecessary items to give fumigators full access to all areas. This includes:

 

Under the beds

 

Behind sofas and cupboards

 

Inside cabinets (especially in the kitchen)

 

 

The less cluttered your space, the more effective the treatment.

3. Cover or Store Food Properly

 

Remove fresh food, open snacks, and utensils

 

Store everything in sealed containers or airtight cabinets

 

If possible, empty your fridge and freezer for deep treatments

4. Secure Electronics and Valuables

 

While most electronics can stay in place, we recommend:

 

Covering them with plastic sheeting

 

Unplugging sensitive devices

 

Locking up important documents, cash, or jewelry

 

 

 

—

 

5. Open Cabinets and Drawers

 

Fumigation gases or sprays need to reach hidden pests. To help with this:

 

Open all cupboards, drawers, closets, and under-sink spaces

 

Pull furniture slightly away from the wall

 

 

 

—

 

6. Vacuum and Sweep Thoroughly

 

Do a deep clean before fumigation to remove food crumbs and pest eggs. Focus on:

 

Cracks and corners

 

Behind appliances

 

Upholstered furniture

 

 

This makes the fumigation more effective and prevents re-infestation.

7. Leave the Space for the Recommended Period

 

After treatment, our technicians will advise you on how long to stay away. Typically:

 

2 to 6 hours for standard treatments

 

24 hours or more for gas fumigation

 

 

We’ll give clear instructions for re-entry and ventilation.

8. Aftercare Tips

 

Once you return:

 

Open windows and doors for at least 30 minutes

 

Wipe down surfaces like tables and countertops

 

Avoid mopping sprayed areas for at least 24–48 hours

 

 

This helps preserve the chemical effectiveness against remaining pests.
