A structural fumigation involves sealing the entire building under tent and monitoring gas concentration precisely — this isn't a service to hire without a state-licensed fumigator directing every stage. 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.
Our tenting equipment and gas detection tools meet state fumigation compliance requirements at every stage.
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.
We provide a full prep checklist covering food removal, plant relocation, and pet arrangements before tenting day.
Clearance testing confirms gas levels are safe before anyone, including our own crew, re-enters the building.
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.
Our fumigation lead arrives to walk the property and explain the process before any commitment is made.
We provide a full written quote and a prep checklist covering what needs to leave the structure before tenting day.
The structure is tented, treated, aerated, and clearance-tested before we certify it safe for re-entry.
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.
The inspector was honest that our case didn't actually need full fumigation and recommended localized treatment instead, which saved us real money.
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.
