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.
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.
Scheduling accounts for your move-out and move-back-in dates so the process is as predictable as possible.
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.
The entire structure is sealed under tarpaulin and treated with fumigant gas that penetrates every wall void and framing member.
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.
After gas exposure, the structure is aerated and tested with certified equipment before we clear it safe for re-entry.
We manage the added complexity of fumigating occupied multi-unit buildings with proper notice and scheduling.
You'll receive full documentation of the fumigation, including gas application records and clearance certification.

Tell dispatch about the extent of damage found so a licensed fumigator can assess whether tenting is the right call.
A licensed fumigator inspects the structure and confirms whether tenting is necessary versus a more localized alternative.
Assessment includes a clear timeline for tenting, gas exposure, aeration, and when you can safely return.
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.
The inspector was honest that our case didn't actually need full fumigation and recommended localized treatment instead, which saved us real money.
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.

Nex Pest Control dispatches licensed fumigators throughout Fruitland and nearby communities for structural tenting projects of any size. We handle single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial structures across Fruitland, each with its own tenting and coordination plan.

A licensed fumigator will assess your case honestly and recommend a smaller treatment if that's genuinely sufficient.
Typically a few days, covering gas application, exposure time, and aeration before clearance testing confirms it's safe to return.
Most furniture and belongings can stay sealed inside; it's primarily consumables and living things that need to be removed.
The gas dissipates completely during aeration, and we don't clear the structure until testing confirms it.
Yes, we provide full fumigation and clearance documentation on request for insurance claims or property transactions.
Commercial fumigation follows the same process with additional planning for occupied buildings.
