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.
A licensed fumigator walks the structure with you to explain exactly what tenting involves before you commit.


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.
Our tenting equipment and gas detection tools meet state fumigation compliance requirements at every stage.
The entire structure is sealed under tarpaulin and treated with fumigant gas that penetrates every wall void and framing member.
When drywood termite colonies are spread across multiple areas of a structure, fumigation eliminates all of them in one treatment.
We provide a full prep checklist covering food removal, plant relocation, and pet arrangements before tenting day.
After gas exposure, the structure is aerated and tested with certified equipment before we clear it safe for re-entry.
Larger commercial buildings and multi-unit structures get coordinated tenting plans accounting for tenant notification and timing.
Compliance paperwork is provided for insurance, real estate, or regulatory purposes on request.

Tell dispatch about the extent of damage found so a licensed fumigator can assess whether tenting is the right call.
Our fumigation lead arrives to walk the property and explain the process before any commitment is made.

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.
The clearance documentation they provided was exactly what our insurance company needed on file.
Appreciated that they didn't just upsell us into tenting when a smaller treatment would have worked.
Buying an older home with visible drywood damage in three separate rooms, fumigation ended up being the only option that made sense, and the crew explained every stage of tenting clearly.

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

Fumigation is recommended specifically when damage is spread across multiple areas that localized treatment can't fully reach.
Typically a few days, covering gas application, exposure time, and aeration before clearance testing confirms it's safe to return.
Food items, medications, and plants typically need to leave, along with pets — we provide a full checklist ahead of time.
The gas dissipates completely during aeration, and we don't clear the structure until testing confirms it.
Compliance paperwork covering the entire process is available whenever you need it on file.
Yes, we coordinate larger tenting projects including tenant notification and scheduling for multi-unit structures.
