The house was completely covered and warning signs were posted to keep people at a distance. A staff member took a final walk through the structure to make sure no one was inside. It was time to fumigate.
Teargas was released first, a step taken to clear out any animals or people that might have been accidentally left inside. Next, the odorless poison gas was pumped through a tube into the house. The gas turned to vapor as it hit the air, and the fans helped it circulate.
