IS BUILDING FUMIGATION REQUIRED? California law requires the mutual to fumigate<\/p>\n
entire buildings with drywood termites, limiting further mutual property damage and<\/p>\n
avoiding costly structural repairs.<\/p>\n
MUST ALL UNITS BE TREATED? Yes. The mutual must fumigate entire buildings with dry-<\/p>\n
wood termites in areas inaccessible for localized treatment.<\/p>\n
IS FUMIGATION SAFE? Newport Exterminating follows stringent Environmental Protec-<\/p>\n
tion Agency guidelines to aerate the property before allowing reentry. Additional safety<\/p>\n
protocols include increased Security patrols around properties being fumigated and<\/p>\n
strengthened screening of contractors entering the Village.<\/p>\n
CAN ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT METHODS BE USED? Laguna Woods Village partnered<\/p>\n
with University of California, Berkeley entomology experts and determined that Vikane\u00ae<\/p>\n
is most effective in guaranteeing 100 percent eradication of drywood termites. Alterna-<\/p>\n
tive methods, organic and otherwise, will not eradicate dry wood termites found in inac-<\/p>\n
cessible areas.<\/p>\n
WHERE WILL I STAY? While the mutual is not obligated to provide temporary lodging<\/p>\n
during fumigation, it has partnered with the Hills Hotel to provide manor residents with<\/p>\n
accommodations (one room per manor) during the procedure. Accommodations are<\/p>\n
provided to registered property occupants only and excludes meals, additional room re-<\/p>\n
quirements, pet boarding fees, extended stays, etc.<\/p>\n
WHAT ABOUT PETS? While some residents with pets may keep their pets with family or a<\/p>\n
friend, boarding costs are the resident\u2019s responsibility. The Hills Hotel offers pet-friendly<\/p>\n
lodging at an additional expense. Contact the hotel at 949-586-5000 for details.<\/p>\n
IS FUMIGATION ENFORCEABLE? The mutual is authorized to take action against a mem-<\/p>\n
ber found in noncompliance with the fumigation process. The board of directors has au-<\/p>\n
thorization to impose fines, suspend privileges and\/or take legal action against a member<\/p>\n
in violation of the mutual\u2019s Governing Documents and rules.<\/p>\n
ARE OTHER RESOURCES AVAILABLE? If you need assistance, Social Services can provide<\/p>\n
the support you may need during difficult circumstances.
