Why Buildings are Fumigated
Vikane* treatment is the best solution for eliminating drywood termites. Fumigations will be recommended when a structure is
found to have a substantial live infestation of drywood termites.
How Buildings Are Fumigated
Since Vikane is a gas a building is completely sealed. This helps to contain the gas in order for it to thoroughly penetrate
a structure. The structure is covered with a tarp and is to remain sealed for4-72 hours depending on specifics of the job.
Warning signs will be posted around the entire structure notifying people to keep out. After a structure is treated a licensed
fumigator will test the house for any traces of Vikane* prior to entry. Fans may be used to completely aerate the structure.
After the structure has been tested it will be cleared for reentry.
What is Vikane*
Vikane* is a odorless and non-staining gas.
