When Only Full-Structure Fumigation Will Do
Comprehensive termite tenting for homes with widespread drywood activity
Termite tenting is not a casual decision. It is the highest-impact treatment reserved for severe or widespread drywood termite infestations where targeted treatment would leave colonies behind. When termites appear in multiple rooms, several floors, or areas that cannot be accessed directly, whole-structure fumigation becomes the most reliable path to complete elimination.
Florida Termite Guys provides professional termite tenting services for South Florida homeowners who need full-structure treatment. We coordinate inspection, confirm the infestation profile, and guide you through preparation with clear checklists that remove uncertainty. Our team schedules the tenting window, manages safety protocols, and verifies completion so you can return to a termite-free home with confidence.
Fumigation works because the gas permeates every accessible airspace inside the structure. Unlike spot treatments that depend on locating each colony, fumigation eliminates termites wherever they are hidden within the treated envelope. It is especially effective for drywood termites that can establish colonies in multiple framing members, attics, and concealed wall voids.
If your property requires fumigation, we will explain why and walk you through exactly what to expect. If fumigation is not necessary, we will say that too. Our goal is to solve the problem with the least disruption that still delivers complete results.

When Tenting Is the Right Treatment
Clear situations where fumigation is the best option
We recommend fumigation only when it is the most reliable path to complete elimination. Here are common scenarios where tenting makes sense.
Multiple Colonies Across the Structure
If drywood termite activity appears in several rooms, floors, or wings of a property, targeted treatment may leave colonies behind. Fumigation treats the entire structure at once and eliminates colonies regardless of location.
Inaccessible or Sealed Areas
Some colonies exist in sealed wall voids, complex attic spaces, or structural areas that cannot be accessed for injection. Fumigation gas reaches these spaces without invasive drilling.
Repeat Infestations After Spot Treatment
If a property has been treated multiple times with localized methods and termites keep returning, fumigation may be necessary to eliminate colonies that were missed.
Real Estate Transaction Requirements
Some buyers or lenders require full-structure fumigation. When those requirements exist and cannot be negotiated, tenting provides the needed documentation and confidence.

What to Expect During Preparation
Practical guidance to reduce stress
Preparation is often the most confusing part of fumigation. We simplify it with clear steps and reminders. Here is the typical scope.
- Remove or double-bag foods, medications, and pet items
- Plan lodging for 2 to 3 nights depending on exposure time
- Make arrangements for pets and plants
- Open interior doors to allow gas circulation
- Turn off gas service as required by the fumigation plan
We provide a detailed checklist customized to your property and answer questions before the tent goes up. Our goal is to eliminate uncertainty and keep preparation manageable.
