Tent Fumigation
Why Choose Whole-Structure Fumigation with Bush Home Services and Vikane?

You can trust your decision when choosing whole-structure fumigation with Vikane gas fumigant. Get 100% assurance that all of the drywood termites in the home are eliminated.

Only whole-structure fumigation is proven to eliminate all drywood termite infestations. Furthermore, only Vikane gas fumigant has been proven through nearly half a century of practical use in more than 2 million structures.

A pest control inspector would literally have to find every hidden colony in a home for spot treatments to be effective. And, because drywood termites hide inside wood, often in inaccessible areas of the home, this task is nearly impossible. Spot treatments only offer temporary or partial results.

Trust your home to the Vikane trained professionals at Bush Home Services.

Vikane can only be administered by highly trained, state licensed fumigators. Not all pest control professionals are able to perform structural fumigations. Check with the state regulator to be sure you are dealing with a company that has been properly trained and licensed to do whole structure fumigation.
 

No residue worries.

Because it is an inorganic gas, when used according to label directions, Vikane gas fumigant completely dissipates from a structure following fumigation, leaving no surface residue, odor or film behind. This means you will not have to wash dishes, linens, clothing or furnishings after fumigation.


How Whole-Structure Fumigation Works

Our fumigation crew works to “tent” a home prior to fumigation. When conducting whole-structure fumigation, our fumigation operator will follow a proven process that has been used successfully for nearly half a century to ensure all the drywood termites are eliminated.

Here’s how the fumigation process works:

The fumigation process starts with preparing your home for fumigation.
Once you’ve prepared your home and left, our fumigation crew will cover your home with pvc coated tarps – this is called “tenting” the home.

Once tented, a warning agent is released into the home as a precaution to ensure that all people have vacated.

Next, all doors are secured using deadbolts, additional locking devices or barricades to help prevent unauthorized entry.
 
Now, fumigation begins – Vikane gas fumigant is released into the home, filling all air spaces and voids in the wood, walls, ceiling and floor. Vikane reaches all of the termite colonies in the structure.
 
Finally, the tarps are removed and your home is aerated. Our fumigation professional will check the home with sophisticated equipment to ensure all of the Vikane has dissipated from the structure before authorizing reentry.
