Our fumigation preparation checklist template helps you guide clients through the critical steps needed before treatment begins. Unlike general pest control forms, this template specifically addresses the unique safety requirements for fumigation, including food removal, plant protection, and structural access needs.

We created this template to help you prevent costly rescheduling and ensure effective treatment results. For example, when clients properly prepare by opening all cabinets and drawers (a step missed in 32% of fumigations according to pest management surveys), fumigant circulation improves dramatically, increasing treatment success rates while reducing the risk of property damage or health concerns.

Frequently asked questions

What should I include in a fumigation preparation checklist for residential clients?

Your checklist should cover food and medicine removal, pet relocation, plant protection (moved at least 10ft from structures), access requirements (opening cabinets/drawers), utility considerations (gas shut-off arrangements), and valuables protection. Include clear timelines indicating when each step should be completed and contact information for questions.

How can I customize this fumigation preparation checklist for different property types?

Adapt the checklist by adjusting sections based on property size and type. For commercial buildings, add sections for inventory protection and employee notification. For residential properties, expand on personal belongings protection. Include property-specific access instructions and modify exterior preparation requirements based on landscaping and structural features.

When should I provide the fumigation preparation checklist to clients?

Provide the checklist to clients at least 7-10 days before scheduled fumigation. This gives them adequate time to make arrangements for temporary accommodations, food storage, and pet relocation. Follow up 3 days before treatment to confirm preparation progress and address any questions or concerns they might have about the process.
