When drywood termite damage is spread across multiple wall sections or floors, spot treatment can't reach every colony — tent fumigation with sulfuryl fluoride is what clears the entire structure at once. 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.
A licensed fumigator walks the structure with you to explain exactly what tenting involves before you commit.


Every fumigation job is directed by a technician holding a specific state fumigation license, separate from standard pest licensing.
Scheduling accounts for your move-out and move-back-in dates so the process is as predictable as possible.
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.
Larger commercial buildings and multi-unit structures get coordinated tenting plans accounting for tenant notification and timing.
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.
