Drywood termites are silent destroyers that can cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage annually. These tiny pests sneak into your home and establish colonies in hard-to-reach areas like attics, wall voids, and crawl spaces. While you might spot some signs of termite activity, many more could be hiding where you can’t see them.
Fumigation is the only treatment that guarantees 100% elimination of drywood termites throughout your entire home.
The Science Behind Fumigation
Fumigation is a whole-home termite treatment that uses sulfuryl fluoride (Vikane®) gas to penetrate every corner of your structure. Think of the protective tent as a balloon that contains the fumigant, ensuring it reaches every termite hiding place.
The 4-Step Process:
- Containment: Your home is sealed with specialized tarps to contain the fumigant
- Treatment: Precise amounts of fumigant circulate throughout your home
- Elimination: The gas seeks out every termite, no matter where they’re hiding
- Ventilation: The gas completely exits your home without leaving surface residue
Why Fumigation is Superior to Other Methods
Fumigation vs. Spot Treatments:
- Fumigation reaches hidden infestations that spot treatments miss
- One treatment eliminates 100% of termites vs. multiple spot treatments needed
- No guesswork about hidden colonies
Fumigation vs. Heat Treatment:
- Gas penetrates better than heat in thick wood, insulation, and concrete
- No risk of heat damage to sensitive household items
- More reliable elimination in hard-to-heat areas
Fumigation vs. Orange Oil:
- Covers entire structure, not just accessible areas
- Eliminates hidden colonies that liquid treatments can’t reach
- Single treatment vs. ongoing maintenance required
Safety and Environmental Considerations
EPA-Approved and Regulated
Sulfuryl fluoride has been EPA-registered since 1959 and re-registered in 1993 after extensive testing. It’s classified as a restricted-use pesticide, meaning only trained, licensed professionals can apply it.
Environmental Impact
- Fumigant dissipates quickly into the atmosphere
- No surface residue left behind
- No washing of dishes, linens, or surfaces required
- Minimal long-term environmental impact
Health and Safety
- Complete evacuation required during treatment
- Professional air quality testing before re-entry
- No harmful residues remain after proper ventilation
- Safer than prolonged exposure to termite damage and treatments
