Fumigation Facts
Product Used: Vikane Gas Fumigant
Why Buildings Are Fumigated: To control termites and other pests like bed bugs quickly and effectively, to eradicate an infestation and prevent costly damage.
How Buildings Are Fumigated: Structures are sealed to contain the gas fumigant so it can penetrate wood and the building contents. You can expect the structure to remain sealed for 2-72 hours.
What to Expect After Fumigation: Our termite specialists will aerate the structure and measure remaining fumigant levels to ensure safe reentry by occupants.
How to Plan for a Fumigation
Here are some steps you can take to help prepare your home for a fumigation by Available Termite and Pest Specialist.
Make accommodation arrangements for residents and pets
Schedule shut-off of gas services, 48 hour advance notice or more is usually required
Make arrangements for vehicles to be parked an appropriate distance away from structures being fumigated
Remove or seal food items, medicines, and house plants
Plants and/or trees touching the structure should be pruned
On the day of treatment, open all cabinets, interior doors, closets and drawers, turn off AC/Heat, sprinklers, and any automatic timers – prior to evacuation

About Termites
Reproductive or swarming termites – shown here – are usually the first signs a homeowner/resident sees as an indicator of a drywood termite infestation. However, the presence of the reproductive cast of the drywood termite means the wood member in your home has been infested for at least four to five years. After the first nuptial flight, you can count on annual nuptial flights unless you allow Available Termite and Pest Specialist to identify your property’s needs and develop the perfect eradication treatment plan for this infestation.
