Whole-structure reach
Vikane moves through the structure to reach drywood termite galleries hidden inside walls, framing, eaves, and furnishings.
Whole-structure termite treatment
Termite Fumigation for Complete Drywood Termite Control
When drywood termites are spread through a home, whole-structure Vikane fumigation reaches areas that localized treatments cannot. Our family-owned team coordinates the process from inspection through safe re-entry.
When fumigation is needed
The right treatment for widespread activity
Fumigation is generally recommended when an inspection finds drywood termite activity in multiple areas, inaccessible framing, or locations where individual colonies cannot be reliably isolated. It treats the entire enclosed structure at one time.
A localized spot treatment can be the better choice when activity is limited and every affected area is accessible. We inspect first and explain both options without pressure, so you only receive the treatment your property needs.
- Widespread drywood termite evidence
- Activity in inaccessible areas
- Multiple colonies or recurring activity
- Complete treatment before a property sale
Vikane gas fumigant
What homeowners should know
Vikane is sulfuryl fluoride, a structural fumigant used by licensed professionals to eliminate drywood termites throughout an enclosed structure.
No surface residue
Vikane is a gas, not a spray. After the required aeration period, it dissipates from the structure without leaving a surface residue.
Measured and monitored
Licensed operators calculate the treatment and monitor concentration, exposure time, aeration, and final clearance.
Clearance before re-entry
No one returns until the structure has been aerated and tested according to required safety procedures.
From inspection to safe re-entry
- 1
Inspection and recommendation
We identify the termite species, activity, and extent before recommending whole-structure treatment.
- 2
Preparation planning
You receive clear instructions for Nylofume bagging, plants, pets, keys, access, and utility coordination.
- 3
Licensed fumigation
The structure is enclosed and treated by licensed operators following state requirements.
- 4
Aeration and clearance
The structure is ventilated and tested before the licensed operator releases it for re-entry.
