Fumigation services for a termite infestation entail having your entire home encapsulated in a tent. The tent is designed specifically for fumigation to keep the treatment inside the house. With the tent encapsulating your house, the fumigant can permeate every area – even inside your walls. Termites cannot avoid the termiticide when you choose fumigation. The actual process of getting the tent set up and performing the fumigation takes several days to a week. This means that you, your family, and pets must find somewhere else to stay during this process. In addition, you will have to remove the food and medicine in your house or put it all in specially designed bags for the fumigation process. It can take a lot of effort to get ready for fumigation in your home but the process is extremely effective at eliminating termites – even when the infestation is severe.
Fumigation is an involved process so it is worth your time to question whether or not it is the right option for you. If you suspect a termite infestation the very first thing you need to do is bring in a professional for an inspection. You need to have a termite expert look at the condition of your home and determine if you do have termites and assess the level of damage. After the inspection you can discuss treatment options with the inspector and determine if fumigation or another option is best for your home.
If you and the inspector determine that fumigation is the right option for your home the next step is to find a pro to provide you with fumigation services. Fumigation requires specialized equipment, training, and experience. For best results, choose a company that has a proven track record of providing fumigation services. Experience and training count for a lot when it comes to eliminating termites from your home.
You may dread the thought of getting your home ready for fumigation and then having to stay somewhere for several days while it is treated. That inconvenience is a small price to pay compared to the issues that will arise if you allow termites to continue eating away at your property.
