When Fumigation Is Recommended
Structural fumigation is typically recommended in specific situations where other treatment methods may not be sufficient:
Extensive Infestations
When termites have established multiple colonies throughout your property:
- Infestations that have spread to multiple areas
- Evidence of termites in several rooms or levels
- Large colonies that have been established for extended periods
- Heavy termite activity indicating widespread presence
Inaccessible Areas
For termites in areas that cannot be effectively treated with localized methods:
- Colonies hidden within walls or other enclosed spaces
- Infestations in attics with limited access
- Termites within support beams or structural elements
- Areas where localized treatments cannot penetrate
Multiple Treatment Failures
When previous spot treatments have not resolved the problem:
- Recurring termite activity after localized treatments
- Continued evidence of termites despite previous interventions
- Expanding infestations that have resisted spot treatments
- Persistent termite problems requiring comprehensive elimination
