Car in garage during fumigation?
My house is getting tented. Terminix tells me its ok to leave the car in the garage. Anyone ever do that? All ok? No paint problems, fumes, smells, etc.?
As I understand it, they pump the house with tear gas to make sure people stay out, along with the funigant. Should I be worried. I'd put it in the driveway with a cover, but its raining....

I'd get the car out of the garage. I would not risk paint damage or odour problems to my car.
Exterminators use pretty nasty stuff which smells horrible to warn folks to get the hell out of the way.
We use phostoxin in the grain elevators to kill bugs in grain, it's phosgene gas, as used in WW1 to drift it down on the enemy and pray the wind does not do a 180.

Nope... Unless you wanna fight them in court over a re-paint. What about a lingering smell??
too risky for me -- and My car sits OUTSIDE 24/7- 365!
OMG!! "I'd put it in the driveway with a cover, but its raining...." Tom, let it get wet for cripes sakes!!

the car will dry off and 1 day in the sun won't shrivel it up like a prune.
you'll see nothing in the way of residue or smell anything.
i've been thru it a couple of times but the car was outside.
computers, tv, stereo, musical instruments were all in the house.
