There are a number of pests that can cause problems for homes in Visalia, CA. Common pests in the area include cockroaches, rodents, and termites. With proactive pest control and prevention homeowners can usually keep pest problems from getting out of control. But, there are times when pests can get out of control despite your best efforts. This is especially true for pests that are notoriously difficult to eradicate such as cockroaches and termites. Problems with these pests can grow into a serious issue before you see the evidence of an infestation because they generally stay out of sight. If you start spotting cockroaches or notice potential termite damage then you may already have a serious problem. In some situations, the answer to a serious pest infestation is structural fumigation. If you are exploring this as a potential option, keep reading for information that can help you make an informed decision.
What is structural fumigation?
Structural fumigation is a process where your house gets encapsulated in a tent or tarp and then sprayed with chemicals designed to eradicate pests. The tent is there to prevent the gases from escaping from your house through points of ventilation or breaches. Trapping the gases in allows them more time to penetrate every nook and cranny of your house. They can even penetrate the wood of your home and eradicate termites. Structural fumigation is done by a pest control professional that has the tools, knowledge, and chemical pest treatments necessary to successfully eradicate the issue.
How do I know if I need structural fumigation?
Structural fumigation is done for serious pest control issues. If you have treated your home for pests multiple times and cannot get rid of the issue then structural fumigation may be the best option. A house with a long established pest infestation may need this type of service. The best way to decide if you need structural fumigation is to have an inspection of your home by a pest control professional. They will be able to assess the extent of the issue and present you with treatment options.
Is structural fumigation safe for my family and pets?
When your home is undergoing structural fumigation you and your family will stay elsewhere. The time it takes to complete the project will depend on a number of factors including the type and severity of the infestation. You will only return to your home when the process is finished at which time it will be completely safe.
