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.
Fumigation accounts for the full vacate-and-return window, not just the tenting day itself.
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 also carry backup monitoring equipment, since redundant gas readings are part of doing this safely.

Full tenting for colonies distributed through wall voids and framing, not accessible to spot treatment.
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.
Tell us about the infestation scope and structure size so we can determine if fumigation's the right call versus spot treatment.
A licensed applicator inspects the structure to confirm fumigation's warranted and measure cubic footage for quoting.
A complete schedule spelling out prep steps, tenting duration, and re-entry timing.
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.

Coverage includes Alpena and surrounding communities, with crews equipped for homes and larger commercial structures alike. Multi-family and commercial structures in Alpena 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.

Regular treatment handles localized activity; fumigation covers what's spread too widely for spot treatment. If you're unsure whether fumigation is the right call, we'll walk through alternatives honestly before you schedule anything.
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.
We use monitoring equipment to confirm safe levels before certifying re-entry — no guessing. We can also coordinate with a pest control service on neighboring units if your building shares structural framing.
Fumigation eliminates existing infestation; we flag conducive conditions afterward to help reduce reinfestation odds. 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.
