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. Older structures sometimes need additional sealing attention around original windows and trim during tenting.


Structural fumigation requires licensing beyond standard pest-control certification — our applicators hold it.
Fumigation accounts for the full vacate-and-return window, not just the tenting day itself.
Quoted by structure size and infestation type, given in writing before tenting begins. Equipment checks happen job by job, not on a fixed calendar, since consistency here isn't something to leave to a schedule.
Commercial-grade tarps, sealing materials, and continuous gas detection throughout treatment. We also carry backup monitoring equipment, since redundant gas readings are part of doing this safely.

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.
We don't clear a property until testing confirms fumigant levels are fully within safe limits. Pet relocation guidance is part of the pre-fumigation conversation too, since pets need to vacate on the same timeline as people.
We schedule a check-in inspection after clearance to confirm full elimination. Before scheduling, we check whether your neighborhood has specific tenting notification requirements, so there are no surprises.
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.
After tenting and clearance testing, we confirm safe re-entry and schedule a post-treatment follow-up.
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 Cairo and the wider Cairo, IL area for both residential and commercial properties. Multi-family and commercial structures in Cairo sometimes require phased tenting schedules, coordinated directly with property management. We also maintain a checklist specific to multi-story versus single-story structures, since tenting logistics differ meaningfully between the two.

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.
The vacate period is short but firm, with precise dates finalized in the plan.
Food, medication, and certain plants generally need removal or special bagging — we provide a full checklist ahead of time.
Structural fumigation is a well-established, code-regulated process under licensed applicators.
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.
