One of the most common questions we hear from Goa homeowners is: how long should I stay out after pest control? The answer depends on the treatment type, products used, and your property's ventilation. This guide explains safe re-entry times for every major pest control treatment we provide across Goa.
| Treatment | Wait Time |
|---|---|
| Gel baits (cockroach, ant) | 0–1 hour |
| Indoor liquid spray | 2–4 hours |
| Mosquito fogging | 4–6 hours |
| Outdoor perimeter spray | 1–2 hours |
| Bed bug chemical spray | 4–6 hours |
| Bed bug heat treatment | 2–4 hours after cool-down |
| Termite drilling / injection | 2–4 hours |
| Fumigation | 24–72 hours |
