A structural fumigation involves sealing the entire building under tent and monitoring gas concentration precisely — this isn't a service to hire without a state-licensed fumigator directing every stage. State fumigation licensing is separate from general pest control licensing, and it's worth confirming any company quoting tenting work actually holds it before you sign anything.
We inspect the extent of damage first, since fumigation is only recommended when localized treatment genuinely won't reach every colony.


Structural fumigation legally requires specialized certification, which our lead fumigators carry and maintain.
We coordinate tenting, gas exposure time, and aeration clearance into a clear timeline so you know exactly when you can re-enter.
You'll see one written quote covering tenting, gas application, aeration, and clearance testing.
We use sulfuryl fluoride gas with certified monitoring equipment to confirm safe concentration and clearance levels.
Tenting reaches areas spot treatment physically cannot — inside solid wood framing, not just surface-level cracks.
We recommend fumigation specifically when inspection shows damage in locations that localized injection treatment can't reach.
We provide a full prep checklist covering food removal, plant relocation, and pet arrangements before tenting day.
Clearance testing confirms gas levels are safe before anyone, including our own crew, re-enters the building.
Larger commercial buildings and multi-unit structures get coordinated tenting plans accounting for tenant notification and timing.
Compliance paperwork is provided for insurance, real estate, or regulatory purposes on request.

Tell dispatch about the extent of damage found so a licensed fumigator can assess whether tenting is the right call.

The structure is tented, treated, aerated, and clearance-tested before we certify it safe for re-entry.
Knowing exactly when we could move back in made planning around the fumigation so much less stressful.
The clearance documentation they provided was exactly what our insurance company needed on file.
Appreciated that they didn't just upsell us into tenting when a smaller treatment would have worked.
Buying an older home with visible drywood damage in three separate rooms, fumigation ended up being the only option that made sense, and the crew explained every stage of tenting clearly.
