Pest fumigation (also known as “tent fumigation” or “pest tenting”) works by filling a sealed space with a gas that eliminates pests on contact. It is a highly effective way to clear a house of infestations that are too widespread or too deep for traditional pest control to reach.
Unlike surface treatments that only hit the pests you can see, fumigation gets into the cracks and walls where they hide. During the process, a professional will lead you through these six steps:

Pest fumigation is a powerful tool that is like flipping a reset switch. If you’re considering fumigation, here are some general questions that will help you understand this process better.
The gases used in fumigation are hazardous to humans. Tenting keeps those gases contained in the area to keep you and your neighbors safe.
No. Fumigation is often used for single-family homes, especially when invasive and destructive pests need to be removed from wall voids. Two examples of pests that fumigation is extremely effective against are bed bugs and termites living deep inside wood.
No. The gases we use are not only EPA-approved, but also non-corrosive, non-staining, and non-flammable. When you return to the structure, you’ll find it just as it was when you left it.
Our experienced technicians will ensure there are no leftover fumigants. The gases used in fumigation will dissipate safely when the tent is removed. No harmful gases will remain in the structure.
No. The gases used during fumigation are released into the atmosphere. They are not ozone-depleting, and they do not harm surrounding wildlife.
No. Fumigation can be as big or as small as you need. We have fumigated everything from large warehouses to a single piece of furniture.
Tenting can be done on anything. We’ve tented museum collections, furniture, antiquities, as well as barges, tractor-trailers, and railcar containers.
Yes. For post-harvest products like wheat, corn, and soybeans, as well as some storage structures, we utilize a cylinderized source of 100% phosphine, Vaporph3os®, and ProFume.
We have fumigated flour mills, grain bins, seed processing plants, feed manufacturers, and some of the nation’s leading food and pharmaceutical plants.
No. Fumigation is a targeted process. We guarantee that all targeted pests will be eliminated, but fumigation isn’t a one-stop shop. Our technicians must calculate the fumigant dosages needed and apply them in a safe and effective manner.
If it isn’t food and it isn’t alive, you can leave it in the structure. Some items will require certain measures be taken for safety purposes, like vehicles left in the garage will need to be left unlocked, and our technicians must be able to access the trunks to prevent the pocketing of gases.
It is important to remove all living creatures from your home, including fish. If you have an aquarium with a large number of fish, there are some options available to protect the aquarium from fumigation. Your specialist will discuss the options with you.
You should also remove foods, medications, and plants. If some items need to stay, your specialist will advise you on this as well.
Yes. We take exceptional measures to ensure the security of your belongings. Once the tenting is in place, we are also required by law to make sure no humans are harmed by the gases used inside. That means no one is going to get into the structure without proper gear and authorization.
No. The gases we used will not leave a residue on your clothing, furniture, or other fabrics. No washing is necessary.
