The Right Treatment for the Right Problem

Not every termite problem requires fumigation

Fumigation is generally considered when drywood termite colonies are spread through multiple areas, hidden inside finished walls or rooflines, or located where a localized treatment cannot reliably reach them.

We begin with an inspection and explain the evidence we find. If a targeted treatment is a better fit, we will tell you. If whole-structure fumigation is recommended, we walk you through the schedule, preparation, treatment, and safe return process.

Fumigation may be recommended when

  • Drywood termite activity appears in several areas
  • Colonies are hidden behind walls or other finishes
  • Infested wood cannot be reached for local treatment
  • Previous localized treatments did not solve the problem
  • A thorough whole-structure treatment is the practical choice
  • The inspection supports fumigation over limited treatment

The exact schedule depends on the property, treatment plan, and required aeration. We give you the expected timeline before scheduling so you can make arrangements.

Is fumigation safe?

Fumigation follows regulated preparation, application, aeration, testing, and clearance procedures. The most important rule is to follow the preparation instructions and wait for official clearance before returning.
