Professional Termite Fumigation for Kendale Lakes Properties
Complete Whole-Structure Treatment When Needed
Some termite situations demand the comprehensive approach that only tent fumigation provides. When drywood termite infestations have spread extensively throughout a structure, when activity exists in areas impossible to access for direct treatment, or when the certainty of whole-house treatment is required, fumigation represents the right answer. Florida Termite Guys provides professional fumigation services for Kendale Lakes properties requiring this level of treatment.
Fumigation involves enclosing the entire structure in specialized tenting material and introducing gaseous fumigant that penetrates every space within the building. The gas reaches into wall cavities, attic spaces, beneath flooring, and throughout structural wood where termites live. Nothing within the tent escapes exposure. Complete colony elimination is achieved when properly executed.
We approach fumigation as a serious undertaking requiring careful coordination. The process involves temporary evacuation, food and medication precautions, pet arrangements, and proper re-entry procedures. Our team manages the entire process, providing clear instructions, coordinating timing, and ensuring safe clearance before your return.
While we always explore whether tentless treatment can address your situation first, we honestly recommend fumigation when it represents the best path to complete termite elimination. Some infestations simply require the comprehensive approach tent fumigation provides.

When Fumigation Makes Sense
Situations where tent treatment is the right choice
Widespread Infestation
When termites have spread throughout multiple areas of the structure, fumigation ensures complete coverage that spot treatments cannot guarantee.
Inaccessible Areas
Termites in wall cavities, beneath flooring, or in structural elements we cannot reach directly require gas penetration to eliminate.
Recurring Problems
When previous spot treatments have not resolved the issue, fumigation provides comprehensive reset of the entire structure.
Certainty Required
For real estate transactions or situations demanding documented complete treatment, fumigation provides unambiguous whole-structure coverage.
The Fumigation Process
What to expect from start to finish
Inspection & Assessment
We confirm fumigation is appropriate for your situation and identify any special considerations. You receive preparation instructions and timeline.
Preparation Day
Remove or seal food, medications, plants, and pets. Disconnect gas appliances. Open interior doors and drawers. We provide detailed checklists.
Tenting & Treatment
Our team seals the structure with specialized tarps and introduces fumigant. The house remains sealed while gas penetrates all spaces.
Aeration & Clearance
We remove tarps and aerate the structure. Scientific testing confirms safe fumigant levels. Only then do we authorize re-entry.
Preparation Requirements
What you need to do before fumigation
Proper preparation ensures safe and effective fumigation. We provide detailed checklists, but here are the key requirements.
Food and Consumables
Remove or double-bag all food items, medications, pet food, tobacco products, and anything meant for consumption. Special fumigation bags are available, or items can be removed from the premises entirely. This includes items in refrigerators and freezers.
Living Things
All people, pets, and plants must leave the structure before fumigation begins. Arrange alternate accommodations for the treatment period, typically 2-3 days. Fish tanks must be removed or specially protected.
Utilities and Access
Gas service must be disconnected. Interior doors, cabinets, and drawers should be left open to allow gas penetration. Exterior doors must be unlockable for our access. We coordinate all details in advance.
Landscape Considerations
Plants immediately adjacent to the structure may need temporary relocation or protection. Irrigation systems should be turned off. We assess your specific landscape during the pre-fumigation inspection.
Specialized tarps completely seal the structure, ensuring fumigant reaches all areas where termites may be present.
