Fumigations

THE TERMITE FUMIGATION PROCESS

What is the termite fumigation process?

​

• The fumigation process starts with preparing your home for fumigation.

• Once you’ve prepared your home and left, the fumigation crew will cover your home with tarps or plastic sheeting – 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 – Zythor gas fumigant is released into the home, filling all air spaces and voids in the wood, walls and floor. Zythor reaches all of the termite colonies in the structure.

• Finally, the tarps are removed and your home is aerated. Your fumigation professional will check the home with sophisticated equipment to ensure all of the Zythor has dissipated from the structure before authorizing reentry.

What is Zythor gas fumigant?

 

Zythor is a colorless, odorless gas that quickly penetrates structural materials during whole-structure fumigation. Zythor , backed by nearly 50 years of university research, practical use and published reports is nonstaining, noncorrosive and nonflammable. Zythor quickly dissipates from the structure into the atmosphere and does not damage the ozone layer.

When should I fumigate with Zythor ?

If a pest management professional finds any one of the following conditions and your home is infested with drywood termites, whole-structure fumigation with Zythor gas fumigant is the best treatment option to completely eradicate the infestation.

• Home is 5 to 10 years old and has never been fumigated.

A pest management professional would literally have to find every hidden colony in a home for spot treatments to be effective.
