Tenting home for termites


Just found out I will be needing to tent and fumigate my house for termites...... Darn!
Are there any concerns regarding my electronics, speakers (esp the drivers), or sensitive items like turntable cartridges??
From my reading on line so far, it seems that the gas disspates totally without a residue, but I wouldn't want to take any chances if there is any real risk. Have any of you gone thru this before??

Fumigation using a tent is necessary for dry-wood termites, which are primarily a problem in warmer climates. I believe most pest control companies have stopped using methyl bromide, and are now using sulfuryl fluoride. The methyl bromide (or bromomethane) could cause deterioration of certain types of rubber.
If your pest control company uses sulfuryl fluoride, you should be OK.
