When drywood termite damage is spread across multiple wall sections or floors, spot treatment can't reach every colony — tent fumigation with sulfuryl fluoride is what clears the entire structure at once. Because the gas penetrates solid wood rather than just surface cracks, fumigation reaches colonies living deep inside framing that no injection or spray treatment could ever access.
We inspect the extent of damage first, since fumigation is only recommended when localized treatment genuinely won't reach every colony.


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.
Our team walks you through exactly what needs to leave the structure and what can safely stay sealed inside.
Clearance testing confirms gas levels are safe before anyone, including our own crew, re-enters the building.
We manage the added complexity of fumigating occupied multi-unit buildings with proper notice and scheduling.
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.
We provide a full written quote and a prep checklist covering what needs to leave the structure before tenting day.
Guarantee coverage means any surviving drywood activity after fumigation is addressed at no additional charge.
Our drywood termite damage was spread across two floors and spot treatment just wasn't going to cut it. The fumigation team walked us through every step of the tenting process.
As a property manager for a multi-unit building, coordinating tenant notification for fumigation seemed daunting, but Nex Pest Control handled the scheduling and paperwork.
The inspector was honest that our case didn't actually need full fumigation and recommended localized treatment instead, which saved us real money.
The prep checklist they sent ahead of time made packing up the kitchen and moving out for a few days far less chaotic than we expected.

Nex Pest Control dispatches licensed fumigators throughout Fort Wayne and nearby communities for structural tenting projects of any size. We handle single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial structures across Fort Wayne, each with its own tenting and coordination plan.

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.
