If your home was being tented for termites would you leave out your wooden ukes or take them away from the house?
No way I'd risk smelling termite spray inside my ukes, instead of the various sweet wood vapors. I'd move them for sure, just to be sure. case.
I spent a year on a consulting project in the pest industry (bed bugs), and had exposure to other pest control issues. I'm certainly not expert, but what they use when the tent for termites is an odorless gas that forces the oxygen out of the building, which kills the termites. It will not harm your furniture or instruments. What sucks about termites is all depends on the way the wind blows. Next termite season, if a swarm lands on your house, you'll be invested all over again (and have to tent again). That's why most companies offer a few year guarantee.
When may place was tented a few years ago, I locked my ukes in a closet and took one with me.
I just fumigated my house last month I left all my ukes in the house in cases..i see nothing wrong with my ukes...all my clothes were left hanging also....

I was more concerned about the security of leaving in the house.
