When drywood termites or stored-product pests spread through a structure, whole-building fumigation reaches what spot treatment can't. Fumigation is a significant undertaking, which is exactly why we walk you through every regulatory requirement before you commit to a date. 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.
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.
Our equipment includes structural tenting systems and gas monitors required for code-compliant fumigation. We never rely on a single gas monitor during clearance testing — redundancy is part of the protocol.

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.
Fumigation follows strict licensed protocol with continuous monitoring throughout tenting.
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.
We assess in person before recommending fumigation, since it's a bigger step than routine treatment.
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 International Falls and surrounding communities, with crews equipped for homes and larger commercial structures alike. We work with International Falls property managers on phased scheduling when a multi-unit building needs treatment without a full shutdown. 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.
Typically a few days, depending on structure size and clearance requirements — we give exact dates during scheduling.
Food, medication, and certain plants generally need removal or special bagging — we provide a full checklist ahead of time.
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. 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. It also helps to schedule any planned pest treatment for neighboring structures around the same window, since shared walls can reintroduce activity.
A licensed inspection will tell you honestly whether fumigation is actually necessary.
