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.
Pricing is quoted based on structure size and tenting complexity, given in full before any tarps go up.
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.
After gas exposure, the structure is aerated and tested with certified equipment before we clear it safe for re-entry.
We manage the added complexity of fumigating occupied multi-unit buildings with proper notice and scheduling.
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.
We provide a full written quote and a prep checklist covering what needs to leave the structure before tenting day.
Guarantee coverage means any surviving drywood activity after fumigation is addressed at no additional charge.
Our drywood termite damage was spread across two floors and spot treatment just wasn't going to cut it. The fumigation team walked us through every step of the tenting process.
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.
The prep checklist they sent ahead of time made packing up the kitchen and moving out for a few days far less chaotic than we expected.

Typically a few days, covering gas application, exposure time, and aeration before clearance testing confirms it's safe to return.
Most furniture and belongings can stay sealed inside; it's primarily consumables and living things that need to be removed.
Yes — clearance testing with certified equipment confirms gas levels are safe before we allow anyone back inside.
Yes, we provide full fumigation and clearance documentation on request for insurance claims or property transactions.
