In general, tent fumigation kills everything. But, more specifically, tent fumigation is used to eliminate multiple drywood termite infestations in homes and businesses. Drywood termite infestations can be difficult to detect as they may infest places that certified technicians can’t access for direct applications of baits and repellants. In these situations, tent fumigation may be the only option to eliminate drywood termites.

Tent fumigation is sometimes employed before people move into a new structure to ensure the elimination of drywood termites, beetles, and other pests. Tenting for subterranean termites that are nesting above ground is sometimes necessary, however, tent fumigation isn’t effective in most subterranean applications, as subterranean termites live in nests under the ground near the homes and businesses they infest. Sometimes, tent fumigation is used to eliminate advanced bedbug infestations. Because tent fumigation is an arduous process, taking several days to complete, with labor-intensive prep work involved removing food, medications, and houseplants, in addition to displacing your family, no tent drywood termite treatments are suggested, whenever possible.
