Common Questions and Answers
Sulfuryl Fluoride is a colorless, odorless gas that quickly penetrates structural materials during fumigation. It is non-staining, non-corrosive and non-flammable. Sulfuryl Fluoride quickly dissipates from the structure into the atmosphere and does not deplete the ozone.
Unlike other treatment options, Sulfuryl Fluoride does not remain in the home after fumigation. It completely dissipates, leaving no surface residues behind. So with Sulfuryl Fluoride, you don't need to wash your dishes, linens, clothing and other items after fumigation.
Sulfuryl Fluoride does not react with most materials. It is highly unlikely to cause damage to structures or their contents when properly applied by a trained fumigator.

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.
