Termite Tenting

Each year, nearly 100,000 tent fumigations are conducted in Florida. This number is so high because the cost of termite control and repair of damage from drywood termites in Florida exceeds $300 million annually. This is expected to increase. The two most popular forms of eradication are spot treatment and tent fumigation for termite extermination. Scientists and industry leaders have proved time and time again that tenting is the most reliable and complete method for eliminating infestations of drywood termites, bed bugs and wood-destroying organisms.

What Is the Difference Between Spot Treatment and Tent Fumigation for Drywood Termites?

Many homeowners search for alternatives to tenting due to the inconvenience of vacating the home. For decades, professors at The University of Florida have researched alternative eradication procedures. This report written by Dr. Rudolf Sheffrahn and Nan-Yao Su, professors of Entomology at The University of Florida concludes that tenting is the only procedure that provides complete eradication of drywood termites.
