When drywood termites or stored-product pests spread through a structure, whole-building fumigation reaches what spot treatment can't. We treat the decision seriously, and part of our job is helping you understand honestly whether it's actually necessary first. A structure's age and construction type both factor into how tenting materials get sized and sealed.


Structural fumigation requires licensing beyond standard pest-control certification — our applicators hold it.
We plan tenting dates around your relocation needs, coordinated to your timeline as closely as possible.
Full written quote covering tenting, fumigant, and clearance testing — no add-ons after scheduling. Applicators recalibrate gas monitoring equipment before every job rather than assuming a prior calibration still holds.
Commercial-grade tarps, sealing materials, and continuous gas detection throughout treatment. We never rely on a single gas monitor during clearance testing — redundancy is part of the protocol.

When activity spreads through multiple structural members, tenting reaches what spot treatment can't.
We treat infestations that have spread beyond what sealing and trapping can reasonably handle.
A clear prep checklist arrives ahead of the date so nothing gets missed.
Licensed application under tent, monitored continuously for concentration and seal integrity.
Gas-level testing confirms the structure is safe before tents come down and re-entry is cleared. We walk through pet boarding or relocation options as part of scheduling, since that's often overlooked until the last minute.
We schedule a check-in inspection after clearance to confirm full elimination. We also confirm HOA or building-code tenting requirements ahead of time, since some communities have their own notification rules.
Describe what's been found — full fumigation is reserved for what spot treatment genuinely can't reach.
A licensed applicator inspects the structure to confirm fumigation's warranted and measure cubic footage for quoting.
You get a full written plan covering prep, tenting date, vacate period, and clearance timeline.
Once gas testing clears the property, we walk through re-entry and book a follow-up inspection.
Drywood termites had spread through multiple rooms — spot treatment wouldn't have cut it. Tenting was organized start to finish.
They coordinated the whole timeline around our hotel stay so we knew exactly when to leave and return.
Warehouse had a stored-product pest problem that got out of hand. Fumigation and clearance testing got us back operating fast.
The detailed prep checklist meant nothing was left to guesswork about what needed removing.
Historic home with extensive drywood termite galleries throughout the attic framing. Fumigation was the only realistic option and it was handled professionally start to finish.

We provide licensed fumigation across Alum Rock and the wider Alum Rock, CA area for both residential and commercial properties. We work with Alum Rock property managers on phased scheduling when a multi-unit building needs treatment without a full shutdown. Structure type changes the tenting approach enough that we keep separate prep checklists for single-story homes and larger multi-story buildings.

Fumigation treats the whole structure under a sealed tent, reaching infestations spread throughout the building; spot treatment targets specific accessible areas. We're happy to answer questions about the process before you commit to anything, including whether a less invasive option might work instead.
Typically a few days, depending on structure size and clearance requirements — we give exact dates during scheduling.
We walk you through exactly what needs bagging or removal before tenting day.
Yes — licensed fumigation follows strict regulatory protocol designed to treat structures safely.
Clearance testing measures gas levels before tents come down, and re-entry isn't approved until levels are fully safe. Shared-wall buildings sometimes need a coordinated fumigation conversation with neighboring unit owners, which we're glad to help facilitate.
A follow-up inspection and any needed exclusion work help protect against future issues. We recommend checking with attached structures before scheduling, since shared framing can affect fumigation planning.
A licensed inspection will tell you honestly whether fumigation is actually necessary.
