ONGOING PROPERTY ENHANCEMENTS
A Message from Tranquility Bay’s General Manager, Lauren Clevenger
We love living and working in south Florida – the weather and tropical water views are spectacular! While the tropical weather is amazing; sometimes we have to put up with tropical bugs. Periodically in south Florida, as well as other areas of the country, we must have our buildings tented in order to completely eliminate the bugs that may live in the walls. We opened Tranquility Bay in 2005 and for the first time since opening, we selected September 2024 as the time we will tent our buildings – one building at a time. Although very much a routine process in south Florida, some of you may not be familiar with this process.
The tenting company prepares each building using a detailed preparation checklist and then installs a tent which completely encapsulates the building using the ground as the base of the tent. The tent is then filled with Vikane gas that eliminates the bugs. According to the tenting service, Vikane is a colorless, odorless gas. It is also non-staining, non-corrosive and non-flammable. We understand the gas dissipates into the atmosphere and does not deplete the ozone. Twenty-Four hours after the tent is installed, it is removed from the building and the crew moves to the next building. In the days following the removal of the tent, our team cleans and prepares the units for occupancy.
Knowing we will be tenting our buildings during your stay with us, please feel free to contact us with any questions. Our team looks forward to assisting in helping explain the process so your family will feel comfortable when you see a tent on one of the resort buildings.
