Fumigation is a serious step reserved for infestations that spot treatment genuinely can't reach, and our licensed fumigators will tell you plainly if a smaller localized treatment would work just as well. Because the gas penetrates solid wood rather than just surface cracks, fumigation reaches colonies living deep inside framing that no injection or spray treatment could ever access.
A licensed fumigator walks the structure with you to explain exactly what tenting involves before you commit.


Every fumigation job is directed by a technician holding a specific state fumigation license, separate from standard pest licensing.
We coordinate tenting, gas exposure time, and aeration clearance into a clear timeline so you know exactly when you can re-enter.
You'll see one written quote covering tenting, gas application, aeration, and clearance testing.
Our tenting equipment and gas detection tools meet state fumigation compliance requirements at every stage.
The entire structure is sealed under tarpaulin and treated with fumigant gas that penetrates every wall void and framing member.
When drywood termite colonies are spread across multiple areas of a structure, fumigation eliminates all of them in one treatment.
We provide a full prep checklist covering food removal, plant relocation, and pet arrangements before tenting day.
Clearance testing confirms gas levels are safe before anyone, including our own crew, re-enters the building.
We manage the added complexity of fumigating occupied multi-unit buildings with proper notice and scheduling.
Compliance paperwork is provided for insurance, real estate, or regulatory purposes on request.

Tell dispatch about the extent of damage found so a licensed fumigator can assess whether tenting is the right call.
A licensed fumigator inspects the structure and confirms whether tenting is necessary versus a more localized alternative.
We provide a full written quote and a prep checklist covering what needs to leave the structure before tenting day.
Guarantee coverage means any surviving drywood activity after fumigation is addressed at no additional charge.
Our drywood termite damage was spread across two floors and spot treatment just wasn't going to cut it. The fumigation team walked us through every step of the tenting process.
The clearance documentation they provided was exactly what our insurance company needed on file.
The inspector was honest that our case didn't actually need full fumigation and recommended localized treatment instead, which saved us real money.
Buying an older home with visible drywood damage in three separate rooms, fumigation ended up being the only option that made sense, and the crew explained every stage of tenting clearly.

No matter which Start neighborhood you're in, our fumigation team can assess and schedule your project promptly. Project size varies widely, but the same licensed oversight and clearance testing standard applies to every Start fumigation job we run.

A licensed fumigator will assess your case honestly and recommend a smaller treatment if that's genuinely sufficient.
Typically a few days, covering gas application, exposure time, and aeration before clearance testing confirms it's safe to return.
Food items, medications, and plants typically need to leave, along with pets — we provide a full checklist ahead of time.
The gas dissipates completely during aeration, and we don't clear the structure until testing confirms it.
Yes, we provide full fumigation and clearance documentation on request for insurance claims or property transactions.
Commercial fumigation follows the same process with additional planning for occupied buildings.
