Process and services for fumigation of termites

 If you are suffering from an infestation of termites the best option is to remove the entire nest in one sweep. A few remaining termites could trigger an outbreak all over and over. There is a myriad of techniques that claim to be just as efficient as fumigation, however, none of them is 100% guaranteed.

In order for a termite treatment to be effective, it should be able to penetrate the wood and reach the deepest part of the area where termites have a home. The best method for doing this is to use termite fumigant which includes covering the building with tents and then using a gas that is absorbed into the wood, killing termites as well as eliminating the colony.

Successful termite fumigation needs some planning on your part prior to when our experts from fumigation arrive. These include:
