There are few pest problems that are as problematic and irritating as a termite infestation. For starters, termites are relentless: they will eat all the wood they can get their mouths on, without ever needing to stop for sleep or rest. They’ll essentially be chewing up your lumber 24/7. And then, when it comes time to evict them from your home, you’re usually left with one option: structural fumigation. Which means you’ll have to relocate your family for a few days, remove all medicine from the house, and find a temporary home for your pets.
However, if you’re thinking of skipping the fumigation, you’d better think again. It’s the best option for dealing with a termite infestation, and we’ve got three reasons to prove it:
1. Spot Treatments Don’t Work for Widespread Infestations
There are plenty of spot treatment options available for termites, such as heat treatment and the Electro Gun. However, those options are only viable when the termite problem is small and/or isolated. When it becomes widespread, the only way to eliminate every termite is through structural fumigation.
2. It is Guaranteed to Solve the Problem
Few things in this world are guaranteed, but a structural fumigation is one of them. A quality pest control company will promise to deliver a termite-free home, or else they’ll return as many times as necessary to finish the job. And according to the State of California, a fumigation is the only surefire way to rid a home of a major termite infestation.
3. It Can Permeate Areas Other Treatments Can’t
One of the best things about structural fumigation is how unavoidable it is for termites. Thanks to the colorful tent that will be placed over the home, a pest control company will be able to pump the house full of chemical gasses without concern. That gas will be able to permeate every portion of the home, including inside walls and in the attic. There’s nowhere for the termites to hide; their fate is sealed.
