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. State fumigation licensing is separate from general pest control licensing, and it's worth confirming any company quoting tenting work actually holds it before you sign anything.
A licensed fumigator walks the structure with you to explain exactly what tenting involves before you commit.


Structural fumigation legally requires specialized certification, which our lead fumigators carry and maintain.
We coordinate tenting, gas exposure time, and aeration clearance into a clear timeline so you know exactly when you can re-enter.
Pricing is quoted based on structure size and tenting complexity, given in full before any tarps go up.
We use sulfuryl fluoride gas with certified monitoring equipment to confirm safe concentration and clearance levels.
Tenting reaches areas spot treatment physically cannot — inside solid wood framing, not just surface-level cracks.
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.
After gas exposure, the structure is aerated and tested with certified equipment before we clear it safe for re-entry.
Larger commercial buildings and multi-unit structures get coordinated tenting plans accounting for tenant notification and timing.
You'll receive full documentation of the fumigation, including gas application records and clearance certification.

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.
Assessment includes a clear timeline for tenting, gas exposure, aeration, and when you can safely return.
The structure is tented, treated, aerated, and clearance-tested before we certify it safe for re-entry.
Knowing exactly when we could move back in made planning around the fumigation so much less stressful.
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 Merrill 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 Merrill fumigation job we run.

Inspection findings, not a sales pitch, determine whether tenting is the right call for your structure.
Typically a few days, covering gas application, exposure time, and aeration before clearance testing confirms it's safe to return.
Most furniture and belongings can stay sealed inside; it's primarily consumables and living things that need to be removed.
Yes — clearance testing with certified equipment confirms gas levels are safe before we allow anyone back inside.
Compliance paperwork covering the entire process is available whenever you need it on file.
Commercial fumigation follows the same process with additional planning for occupied buildings.
