Please clarify if the Occupants Fumigation Notice and Pesticide Disclosure form is to be completed only after the 30 day notice is received by the homeowner or if the form is to be completed now.
Hi Lanette. Correct, the forms are to be complete online after the 30 day notice has been distributed.
Hi Team, in the fumigation preparation video @10:30 and 11:00 it mentions that having the gas turned off and on for condos/multi family structures is handled by Accurate.
Is this correct for the people within stacked units?
Also the doc mentions having to nail the hot water heater door shut. Is there a preferred way to do this without causing damage?
Hi Jenn. Correct, Accurate is scheduling gas shutoffs and restores on behalf of residents. Water heater closets may be nailed shut if the fumigators cannot secure the door by other means. Usually nailing the door shut is a last resort and is minimally invasive.
I filled out my disclosure and Notice of Compliance and did not receive an email when you had to cancel our fumigation on May 10th on Solana. I also, did not receive any other information from Accurate as to when you will reschedule the fumigation. I initialed and signed all documents.
Don’t forget everyone — read thru our RSJ Fumigation FAQs which answer many of the questions posted here (and more!) —

Such as taking out the shelves in your refrigerator and freezer to make more space to place your double-bagged food back in your refrigerator and freezer.
And what to do if you won’t be home on the 3rd and final day when the tents are removed, to let the SoCal Gas rep into your home to turn the gas back on and perform their safety checks in your home. (Answer: About a week before your building is scheduled for tenting, note the date of the final day of your tenting schedule and have your gas bill on hand. Then call SoCal Gas Company’s Customer Service at
909-307-7070 and give them your SoCal Gas account # and the combination of your lockbox that will contain your front door key. After they finish, they will return the key in your lockbox.)
Thank you Mari!
When the Webinar for 11 Solana scheduled?
How is frozen food handled that is in freezer compartment of refrigerator?
Hey JL. Frozen food will have to be double bagged using the Nylofume bags we will provide.
I won’t be home on the third day when the tents are removed and the gas company rep comes by to turn the gas back on in my home. I’ve been told that I can call the gas company and give them the combination lock to my lockbox (which will be used to pass on my housekey to Accurate). But Accurate will leave my housekey from the lockbox inside my home. Should I leave 2 keys in the lockbox so that 1 remaining key will still be there for the gas company to use to enter my home?
Hey Mari. We will only leave keys inside if no lockbox is provided. In your case, we will leave your key back in your lockbox.
Do we need to remove garment bags, dry cleaner bags or other kind of bags from items in our home?
For example, I have some of my clothes and garment bags and plastic bags wrapped around some appliances in cupboards and photo boxes.
Will we get a meeting with Accurate before our home is tented?
Absolutely. Your meeting date and time will be communicated to you ahead of the fumigation.
Hi Ozzie, I was wondering if a time has yet been fixed for our meeting on the tenting for 9, 11, 13 Solana beginning on Apr 19? We would like to ask you a few questions to make sure we can get all the kinks ironed out before the tenting. Thanks, Jerry Schammel
My name is Jennifer Head i live at 12 Verde (the address field does NOT allow me to put in my address)
I asked the question on the day of the meeting December 9th and it’s still not clear…
The Question is:
I live in a stacked unit my garage is separate ,,,, I would like to move my belongings out of my home into the garage safe from fumigation !
I would like to start putting things into the garage now so when I hire the movers to move the furniture it won’t be so costly…. I DON’t LIKE ANY CHEMICALS,
I would like to know now when would you tent my home? Approximately And will you tent the stacked unit garages at a different time … ?
WHEN WOULD THAT BE ?
How much time between my home and the garage?
I AM PUTTING IN NEW FLOORING RIGHT AFTER FUMIGATION AND PAINTING … SO I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS CAN BE DONE AND HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE BETWEEN THE TWO,! PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU CAN
Thank you
Jennifer head 310-528-1350
Hi Jennifer. Your address does not pop up as an option because your building is not scheduled for fumigation and is not expected to be fumigated within the next several months or so. Detached garage buildings are expected to be fumigated on a separate date after the residences. However, we do not yet have exact dates for either your residence or garage building. You will receive a letter from your board of directors with those details once they have been confirmed.
Hey Ozzie
As soon as you find out please let me know how much time / how many days between tenting stacked unit home and garage … as I stated I am planning on installing flooring after tenting and since belongings have been removed it makes it easier for installers …. and I don’t want to move back in until old carpet is removed after being saturated with chemicals ! I’m very sensitive to all chemicals …….who ever is deciding please make it at least a couple weeks or more …. PLEASE ACCOMMODATE …. would be SOOO very grateful …

Hi Ozzie and Giselle, a homeowner asked about locked filing drawer cabinets — do these need to be unlocked for the pre- and post-inspections when the homeowner vacates the home for fumigation?
Hi Mari. File cabinets are best left unlocked. Should an inspector from the agricultural department arrive to the job site and find the cabinet locked, they could potentially cancel the fumigation.
I filled out the form but don’t see where I am supposed to sign the disclosure.
Hey Carolyn. You may have only done the check-in portion. You should receive your disclosure form in an email after you’ve checked in. Be sure to check your spam box just in case.
Should suit cases be left open?
Also a question about soups or liquids in waxed containers (like 32 ounce chicken stock in waxed, cardboard type container).
Thank you
Suitcases can stay closed assuming they are not wrapped in plastic. Edible items in waxed containers should be removed or double-bagged using only Nylofume bags. Remember that the only exceptions to the bagging rule are factory sealed glass containers and factory sealed metal cans.
Will the formal tenting/fumigation notification letter from Accurate Termite be hand-delivered to each home, or will it be mailed to each homeowner/resident, or both? Also, if the home is rented to tenants, who should sign the Accurate online forms, the homeowner or the tenant? Or both?
A copy will be posted to each individual unit by Accurate as a courtesy to the board. Either the board or management is responsible for mailing a copy out to each resident and offsite owner when their unit is scheduled for fumigation. Tenants should be the first to sign the forms. Landlords are also encouraged to sign and familiarize themselves with what is required of their tenants.
Sorry, one more “food prep” question — what about toiletries and personal hygene items in the bathrooms, including items/containers that have already been opened, like shampoos, liquid soaps, facial creams, etc.
Can these personal toiletry items be left as-is in the home during fumigation? Or do they also need to be bagged in the Nylofume bags?
And I am guessing that cleaning products and liquid dish soaps and laundry detergents do not need to be bagged in the Nylofume bags since they are not food items?
All hygiene and cosmetic products do not need to be removed or double bagged as they are not considered edible.
For food prep — I understand that canned goods (like canned tomatos) and food items in the original, sealed glass containers (like jars of olives) do not need to be bagged in the Nylofume bags provided by Accurate.
But what about canned sodas or beers, or bottled beers, or bottled water? Can those be left alone in our pantry/closets and not bagged in the Nylofume bags?
And I guess any containers containing plain water can be left as-is and not bagged, even if the container with water has already been opened?
Hi Mari. Canned sodas and beers can stay as is only if the factory seal is still intact. The same goes for beer bottles. Water and ice can stay as is regardless of their container.
Thanks! And I guess that goes for unopened wine bottles — they too do not need to be bagged and can stay as-is, even if they are in those wine refrigerators — that unopened wine bottles with their unsealed corks can remain as-is?
We have a couple of carbon monoxide detectors, one upstairs, one in the basement, are these covered by the fumigation team for fumigation or do they need to be disconnected?
Hey Lisa. Carbon monoxide detectors can plugged into function as usual. The fumigant will have no effect on them.
