What must be removed from a home before fogging is done?

Fogging is a pest control method that involves the use of pesticides in a fog form to treat areas for pests. Prior to fogging, it is crucial to ensure that certain items are removed to ensure safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Bedding, clothing, and fish are particularly important to remove because they can absorb pesticides or come into direct contact with the chemicals during the treatment.

Bedding and clothing can also be difficult to clean afterward if they absorb any pesticide residue. Fish are especially vulnerable because pesticides can be harmful to aquatic life; thus, removing them ensures they are not exposed to hazardous chemicals that could lead to poisoning.

In this context, the other options do not fully encompass the range of necessary removals. While some may suggest the removal of furniture and plants, these are not as critical to remove as items directly related to human contact and aquatic life safety. Similarly, while removing pets and food items is vital, this option does not specifically highlight the importance of bedding, clothing, and fish, which makes it less comprehensive.
