Fumigation is a serious step reserved for infestations that spot treatment genuinely can't reach, and our licensed fumigators will tell you plainly if a smaller localized treatment would work just as well. Because the gas penetrates solid wood rather than just surface cracks, fumigation reaches colonies living deep inside framing that no injection or spray treatment could ever access.
We inspect the extent of damage first, since fumigation is only recommended when localized treatment genuinely won't reach every colony.


Every fumigation job is directed by a technician holding a specific state fumigation license, separate from standard pest licensing.
We coordinate tenting, gas exposure time, and aeration clearance into a clear timeline so you know exactly when you can re-enter.
You'll see one written quote covering tenting, gas application, aeration, and clearance testing.
We use sulfuryl fluoride gas with certified monitoring equipment to confirm safe concentration and clearance levels.
The entire structure is sealed under tarpaulin and treated with fumigant gas that penetrates every wall void and framing member.
When drywood termite colonies are spread across multiple areas of a structure, fumigation eliminates all of them in one treatment.
Our team walks you through exactly what needs to leave the structure and what can safely stay sealed inside.

Compliance paperwork is provided for insurance, real estate, or regulatory purposes on request.

Tell dispatch about the extent of damage found so a licensed fumigator can assess whether tenting is the right call.
A licensed fumigator inspects the structure and confirms whether tenting is necessary versus a more localized alternative.
Assessment includes a clear timeline for tenting, gas exposure, aeration, and when you can safely return.
The structure is tented, treated, aerated, and clearance-tested before we certify it safe for re-entry.
Knowing exactly when we could move back in made planning around the fumigation so much less stressful.
The clearance documentation they provided was exactly what our insurance company needed on file.
Appreciated that they didn't just upsell us into tenting when a smaller treatment would have worked.
