Noxious or poisonous fumes or gases herein provided for shall not be released except between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Before such building, structure or part thereof is exposed to noxious or poisonous fumes or gases herein provided for, every building, structure or part thereof which is to be exposed to such noxious or poisonous fumes or gases shall be first carefully sealed so that no opening of any kind whatsoever remains through which such fumes or gases might escape.

Unless the fumigant to be used is approved by the United States Public Health Service as not affecting foods, all food and drink in the building or room being fumigated shall be removed, except when such food and drink are given a special exemption, when placed in sealed containers or when the fumigation is performed for the purpose of destroying vermin infesting the same.
No person, other than a licensed fumigator or a City official in the discharge of his or her duty, shall be permitted to enter into any area or chamber in which fumigating work is in progress.
