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.
We inspect the extent of damage first, since fumigation is only recommended when localized treatment genuinely won't reach every colony.


Every fumigation job is directed by a technician holding a specific state fumigation license, separate from standard pest licensing.
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.
Tenting reaches areas spot treatment physically cannot — inside solid wood framing, not just surface-level cracks.
We recommend fumigation specifically when inspection shows damage in locations that localized injection treatment can't reach.
Our team walks you through exactly what needs to leave the structure and what can safely stay sealed inside.
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.
You'll receive full documentation of the fumigation, including gas application records and clearance certification.

Knowing exactly when we could move back in made planning around the fumigation so much less stressful.
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 Pella and nearby communities for structural tenting projects of any size. We handle single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial structures across Pella, each with its own tenting and coordination plan.

We'll give you a specific timeline based on your structure size once the assessment is complete.
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.
Commercial fumigation follows the same process with additional planning for occupied buildings.
