What Is Termite Fumigation?

Termite fumigation is a process used to exterminate termites by filling a space with insecticide gas. When it comes to these infestations, one of the quickest ways to eliminate the entire nest in a single treatment is with termite fumigation, also known as structural fumigation. Insecta Fumigation provides structural fumigations to eliminate drywood termites, powder post beetles, old house borers, and other pests.

All of our fumigation services are performed by state-certified pest control operators who are knowledgeable in the category of fumigation.

Insecta Exterminating Termite Fumigation Process

Keep in mind that this process generally takes a few days, so you will need to find another place to stay while the tent is up and the termite fumigation process is underway. You’ll also need to seal food and medications and relocate house plants. For your safety and that of your family, do not attempt to enter the house before your fumigators have given you the all-clear. Ask any questions you may have – because the more informed you are about the process, the easier it will be.

This process generally involves completely enclosing and sealing the structure with a nylon fumigation tent and maintaining a lethal concentration of the selected fumigant gas during the exposure period.

  1. The fumigant gas penetrates deep into the building, including hard-to-reach areas such as attics, basements, and cracks.
  2. Once an Insecta technician confirms there has been sufficient fumigation time to exterminate every termite or pest, the tent will be vented and thoroughly aerated, leaving behind no residue.
  3. Then, after the entire process is complete, we’ll return your keys and let you know when you can safely re-enter the building.
  4. Our Insecta termite exterminators will follow up with you to address any risk factors of termites.

With the right preparation, tenting your house doesn’t need to cause a lot of stress and heartache. So, what do you need to do to properly prepare? In the event your home needs to be fumigated, you will be provided with a checklist of items that should be addressed before the fumigation occurs.

Termite Tent Fumigation Preparation

Consider the following before we begin fumigation:

  • Trim shrubbery and tree branches to prevent damage. Allow 18” to 24” of space for the tent to fall freely to the ground. Tree limbs growing over the roof must be trimmed back. Dig up flower bulbs and plants within 2 feet of the foundation. Any vines attached to the structure must be removed.
  • Water heavily all vegetation located alongside the foundation of the structure. This will help to protect the plants during the fumigation.
  • All foods and medicinal products must be removed prior to the fumigation. Factory Sealed cans, jars, and bottles do not need to be removed.
  • Don’t purchase extra or unnecessary food in the days leading up to the fumigation. This will only create more work for you in the event these items must be removed before the fumigation.
  • Remove all plants from inside your home before the day of the fumigation. These include any plants on outdoor patios.
  • Make overnight arrangements for you and your pets with the intention of staying at least 48 hours. Be sure that whatever plans you make have the flexibility of being re-scheduled. In the event of bad weather, your fumigation may be delayed as a safety measure.
  • Contact your pest control professional with any questions you may have prior to the fumigation. It’s even a good idea to meet with your expert before the fumigation so they can make sure your home is properly prepared.

After the fumigation, it won’t be necessary to wash dishes, linen, or clothing. The gas used in the house will dissipate and will not linger.
