Can I leave my clothes in the house during fumigation? Yes, you can leave your clothes in the house during whole-house tent fumigation, and in fact you should leave them inside so any bed bugs, larvae, or eggs hiding in them are killed by the gas. Clothes in closets, drawers, and laundry hampers should be left loose, not sealed in airtight plastic bags or totes that block gas penetration. If clothes are in vacuum-sealed bags or thick plastic bins with tight lids, open them so gas can enter. The fumigant sulfuryl fluoride does not damage clothing, does not leave oily residue, and dissipates completely after aeration, so clothes are safe to wear after re-entry, though many people wash them for comfort. Exception is for expensive furs, leather, and some specialty garments, ask company. You must remove or specially bag in Nylofume bags any clothes that will be worn by infants or people with chemical sensitivities if your company requires it. Do not leave clothes that are heavily soiled with food that could contaminate.
