If you perform the tenting and fumigation, make sure you have procedures in place and there is accountability. Here are some of the procedures not all of them, please consult your state:

In the Draft Interim Re-entry Mitigation Measures Memorandum, EPA is proposing the following label revisions for all sulfuryl fluoride products:

  • Require more posting of warning signs to be clearer that there is no admittance to fumigation tents during fumigation.
  • Require a fumigant management plan for residential fumigations.
  • Require additional registrant-sponsored applicator stewardship and training; and
  • Only allow use of the clearance devices shown to be effective.

In addition, EPA is proposing to require remote fumigations and aeration from outside of the fumigated space, increase aeration time to 12 to 24 hours, require active aeration (e.g., use of fans), and require portable stacks, which aligns with California’s Aeration Plan that has yielded positive results.
