How many days does fumigation last, fumigation lasts typically 2 to 3 days for whole house tent fumigation for termites, including fumigation and aeration, with total time away from home about 48 to 72 hours. Process includes tenting house on day 1, releasing fumigant gas Vikane for 24 hours to kill termites, then removing tent and aerating house with fans for 12 to 24 hours to clear gas, after which fumigator tests air and clears home for reentry, so total 2 to 3 days. For indoor fumigation for insects like cockroaches, bed bugs, or fleas using foggers or sprays, fumigation itself lasts few hours, with preparation, fogging for 2 to 4 hours, then ventilation for 2 to 4 hours, total less than 1 day, often 4 to 8 hours before reentry. So how many days does fumigation last, tent fumigation lasts 2 to 3 days away from home, with 1 day fumigation and 1 day aeration, while indoor bug bomb fumigation lasts less than 1 day, few hours, with duration depending on type, termite tent fumigation being longest at 3 days, and apartment fumigation for bugs being few hours to 1 day, with company providing exact timeline, but most homeowners are out 2 nights for tent fumigation.
