Court Order Sought to Allow Fumigation

A condominium association has asked for a court order for residents protesting a planned fumigation to leave their homes long enough to let those workers in.

The Huntington Landmark Senior Adult Community Assn. filed a petition in Orange County Superior Court this week, specifically naming Adelaide Capizzi, who organized the protest. She is the mother of Orange County Dist. Atty. Michael R. Capizzi.

The petition says a delay will cause further damage to an already termite-infested complex.

In recent weeks, residents have protested the association’s efforts to bring in exterminators, saying the fumigant, sulfuryl fluoride would cause health problems and that there are other methods to get rid of the termites.
