Tent Fumigation

What Is Structural Tent Fumigation?

Termite tent fumigation has been used in the pest control industry for a long time because it remains the most thorough way to eradicate drywood termites. As part of specialized termite control services, tent fumigation treats every area of the property covered underneath the tent.

When a home is tent fumigated for termites, the property is covered with a tent during the fumigation process. Every area underneath the tent is treated, providing coverage throughout the covered areas of the property.

It can also be used for bed bugs. Homes can be tent fumigated for termites or bed bugs using specialized fumigation services.

The coverage provided by the tent is an important part of the process. Rather than limiting treatment to a particular area, fumigation includes every area of the property covered underneath the tent.

How Does Whole-Structure Treatment Work?

Structural tent fumigation provides treatment throughout the areas of a property covered by the tent. For homeowners dealing with drywood termites, Chem Free Exterminating also offers local termite treatment as another termite treatment option.

For drywood termites, termite tent fumigation is the most thorough way to eradicate them. Once the property is covered by the tent, the areas underneath it are treated during fumigation.

This type of fumigation can be used for both termites and bed bugs. Homeowners can tent fumigate their homes for termites or even for bed bugs using specialized fumigation services.

Who Performs the Fumigation?

Chem Free Exterminating performs its own fumigations rather than relying on outside providers for the fumigation service. 

The company provides fumigation services throughout Los Angeles and Orange County, California, serving properties in these areas. For its fumigation services, Chem Free Exterminating always uses Vikane gas. 

This gas is manufactured by Dow AgroSciences and is used as part of the fumigation process. Performing its own fumigations and using the same fumigant for its services allows the company to provide a consistent approach to structural fumigation. 

The service can be used for properties requiring thorough treatment for drywood termites or bed bugs.

What Gas Is Used for Fumigation?

Vikane gas is used by Chem Free Exterminating for its termite fumigation services as part of the structural tent fumigation process. 

The gas is manufactured by Dow AgroSciences and is the fumigant used during the company's fumigations. Vikane gas is also connected to changes in the cleaning and preparation traditionally associated with fumigating a home. 

Unlike the cleaning requirements described for traditional fumigation, Vikane gas does not leave any residue once fumigation is complete. 

Homeowners therefore do not have to clean dishes or countertops after returning to the home following fumigation. This is one of the key benefits associated with the use of Vikane gas.

How Does Vikane Gas Fumigation Work?

Chem Free Exterminating uses Vikane gas when performing its fumigations. The company performs its own fumigations and always uses Vikane gas manufactured by Dow AgroSciences.

The use of Vikane gas for termite fumigation has changed the cleaning and prep work traditionally associated with fumigating a home.

In the past, fumigating a home meant a lot of cleaning and prep work beforehand. With the use of Vikane gas, those traditional cleaning requirements have changed.
