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.

Our tenting equipment and gas detection tools meet state fumigation compliance requirements at every stage.
Tenting reaches areas spot treatment physically cannot — inside solid wood framing, not just surface-level cracks.
When drywood termite colonies are spread across multiple areas of a structure, fumigation eliminates all of them in one treatment.
