A structural fumigation involves sealing the entire building under tent and monitoring gas concentration precisely — this isn't a service to hire without a state-licensed fumigator directing every stage. 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.


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.
We use sulfuryl fluoride gas with certified monitoring equipment to confirm safe concentration and clearance levels.
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.
Clearance testing confirms gas levels are safe before anyone, including our own crew, re-enters the building.
We manage the added complexity of fumigating occupied multi-unit buildings with proper notice and scheduling.
Compliance paperwork is provided for insurance, real estate, or regulatory purposes on request.

Call +1-866-315-0243 to schedule a fumigation suitability assessment for your Montecito property.
A licensed fumigator inspects the structure and confirms whether tenting is necessary versus a more localized alternative.
We provide a full written quote and a prep checklist covering what needs to leave the structure before tenting day.
The structure is tented, treated, aerated, and clearance-tested before we certify it safe for re-entry.
Knowing exactly when we could move back in made planning around the fumigation so much less stressful.
As a property manager for a multi-unit building, coordinating tenant notification for fumigation seemed daunting, but Nex Pest Control handled the scheduling and paperwork.
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 Montecito and nearby communities for structural tenting projects of any size. We handle single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial structures across Montecito, 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.
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.
