You may or may not have had your house fumigated for termite treatment. If you have, it is likely you simply followed the company’s preparation instructions and turned over your house key to them. This video will show what exactly happens after you turn over your keys and some tips about fumigation. I suspect you will see a few things you may not have expected or imagined, such as the poison is actually in use for only one day, they may use tear gas, how the poison gas is released at the end, and so forth.
If you have not had experience with fumigation, but are currently preparing your house, this video is a must watch because seeing how we wasted some time and effort may save you some of yours.
While local spot termite treatment may be cheaper and take less preparation, it does not affect termites in inaccessible areas or undetectable infestations, and can not achieve whole-house eradication. The advantages for spot treatment are that it is cheaper, and is more convenient because you don’t have to move out for a few days. However you may continue to wonder if there were areas harboring termites that were missed.
Fumigation or tenting is the only whole-structure method that has been proven 100% effective at eliminating every drywood termite infestation, including the undetectable infestations. However, it is more expensive and you will need to stay elsewhere for a few days. And the termites will eventually come back after fumigation, so it is better you spray some chemicals around your house as well as an ongoing deterrent.

You know your house the best with real data, how long do you find termites after previous tenting or related problems?
