Termite fumigation in suburban California means that potent yet odourless greenhouse gas is pumped into tented buildings, with the greater Los Angeles area having the highest emissions of sulfuryl fluoride in the USA. Sulfuryl fluoride, also known as Vikane, targets the nervous system of living creatures and can cause serious health issues and death. The occupants vacate the house for a couple of days during the process, returning to carry on their everyday lives, hoping that no gas seeped out and killed their garden plants.
