What should be removed from the area before using thermal fog?

• A. Remove or cover food.
• B. Open windows and doors.
• C. Leave pets inside.
• D. Turn on radios for alerts.

Answer: (A)

Thermal fogging disperses a fine pesticide mist that can drift and settle on surfaces, including exposed food. To prevent contamination and ensure safety, remove all food and food-contact items from the area or tightly cover them before fogging. Opening windows and doors would let the fog escape and reduce effectiveness; leaving pets inside would expose them to the pesticide; turning on radios has no impact on safety.
