What Is the Termite Fumigation
Process?
Termite Fumigation is a procedure using canvas tarps
to cover and seal a structure allowing a fumigant to
penetrate the wood timbers eliminating termites.
The following is a general guideline for a typical
fumigation:
Fumigation (Up)
A fumigation crew covers the entire structure with
large tarps. The tarps are secured with long
"sand snakes" placed along the foundation of the
structure and related attachments. A licensed
fumigator prepares the interior by ensuring the
removal of food, feed, drugs, plants, people and
pets. The fumigator is also responsible for
placement of fans, opening of doors and drawers and
placement of warning agent (chloropicrin) in
specific locations. The structure is secured
with secondary locks on all entryways and warning
signs are posted at specific locations.
Once the exterior has been properly sealed and the
interior prepared, the warning agent is applied and
the proper dosage of VikaneŽ fumigant is introduced
into the structure. The fumigant is contained in the
structure for a predetermined amount of time,
penetrating deep into wood to eliminate Drywood
Termites.
Fumigation (Down)
After the proper exposure to VikaneŽ fumigant, the
fumigation crew removes the tarps from the
structure. During the removal of the
equipment, the licensed fumigator will open all
windows and doors and use fans to continue aeration
of the structure. Upon removal of equipment,
the property is again secured with secondary locks
and warning signs remain posted.
Fumigation (Re-Entry/Certification)
Once the proper amount of aeration time has elapsed,
the licensed fumigator takes air samples from the
interior living spaces of the structure with
equipment specifically designed to detect the
presence of VikaneŽ fumigant.
Once it is determined that it safe to return to the
structure, the licensed fumigator will place a
Re-Entry Notice on the front door. This notice will
indicate the date and time that it was certified
safe to re-enter. The secondary locks and
warning signs are removed to complete the
fumigation.
