Fumigation Process and Details

Fumigation is a safe and effective way to eliminate pests including termites, beetles, bed bugs and fleas from your home — but it does require some preparation. Below is a simple checklist to help ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

Fumigation vs Spot Treatment - Why Fumigate?

Fumigation​

Spot Treatment

  • Colonies must be visible/found by inspector to be treated

  • Multiple treatments may be necessary if all termites are not eliminated

  • Requires drilling

  • Residents may have to leave until the chemical dries

  • Cost per treatment is less than fumigation, but multiple services are often needed (includes orange oil and liquid)

  • Kills all termites, even hidden or inaccessible colonies

  • One treatment eliminates 100% of termites

  • No drilling necessary

  • Residents must prepare their home and leave it for a few days

  • Costs more than most spot treatment, requires leaving home for a few days and possible kennel costs

  • Requires an inspection to confirm what type of pest is present

  • Treats drywood termites and beetles

How It Works

Fumigaiton is a primary recommendation in the termite industry because it is effective for both termites that you may see in your home, visible wood damage or droppings AND places you cant see like wall voids, in your attic and subarea. 

01

YOUR HOME IS CAREFULLY PREPARED AND TENTED. 

This seals all the chemical inside the structure and ensures it reaches all wood members.

02

THE TENT IS FILLED WITH FUMIGANT 

Once chemical is introduced every termite under the tent dies.
This is great to stop any damage that may already be done and/or prevent further damage.
 

03

THE TENT IS REMOVED.

The gas is completely gone from the structure (we can't take the tent off until we test the air and ensure there is no chemical left) and leaves behind NO smell or residue.
