When Should a House Be Tented for Termites

When the infestation is too extensive or if it’s out of control. Any type of pest infestation can get out of hand. If drywood termites invade your home, it may be time to get a tent fumigation. Drywood termites cause substantial damage, often long before you even know you have a problem.

Is tenting necessary for termites?

No. Fumigation is not always required for treating drywood termites and wood-boring beetles. Fumigation is an all-encompassing treatment in which the gases permeate the entire structure, eradicating both visible infestations and termites that are otherwise inaccessible.

What type of termites require tenting?

Tenting for drywood termites includes introducing large quantities of gas into the home so that the toxins penetrate throughout all wood members at levels strong enough to kill any termites inside. Unfortunately, this gas isn’t only lethal to termites.
