When should I fumigate?

  • Dry wood termites have swarmed inside the home.
  • Evidence of multiple infestation locations.
  • Infestations are in inaccessible areas.
  • Home has extensive, visible dry wood termite damage, making it difficult to identify active from inactive infestations.
  • Other homes in the neighborhood have dry wood termites.
  • Home has been previously spot-treated for dry wood termites, and the spot treatment(s) failed.

Here’s How Fumigation Works

  • The fumigation process starts with preparing your home for fumigation.
  • Once you’ve prepared your home and left, the fumigation crew will cover your home with tarps or plastic sheeting – this is called “tenting” the home.
  • Once tented, a warning agent is released into the home as a precaution to ensure that all people have vacated.
  • Next, all doors are secured using deadbolts, additional locking devices or barricades to help prevent unauthorized entry.
  • Gas fumigant is released into the home, filling all air spaces and voids in the wood, walls and floor. The gas reaches all of the termite colonies in the structure.
  • Finally, the tarps are removed and your home is aerated. We check the home with sophisticated equipment to ensure all of the gas has dissipated from the structure before authorizing re-entry.
