Fumigation in Buellton
When pests invade the deeper areas of your home—especially drywood termites—our crew at Lenz is the trusted choice for Fumigation in Buellton.
What is Fumigation?
Fumigation is a specialized pest control method created to completely eliminate large or hard-to-reach infestations. During this process, your home is carefully enclosed with a tent and treated with a fumigant gas that penetrates wood, walls, and insulation—wiping out pests in every life stage.
- Fumigation Is Commonly Used For
- Drywood termites
- Wood-boring beetles
- Severe bed bug infestations
- Other insects hidden deep inside structural wood
This approach provides a whole-home solution, reaching areas that typical spot treatments can easily miss.
How Long Does Fumigation Usually Take?
Most fumigation projects last about 2 to 3 days, though the timeframe can vary depending on the size of your property and the level of infestation.
Here’s What the Process Looks Like:
Day 1: Setup and introduction of the fumigant
Day 2: Structure remains sealed as the treatment circulates
Day 3: Aeration and safety clearance testing before re-entry
We’ll design a plan tailored to your home and keep you informed from start to finish.
The Fumigation Process
At Lenz Pest Control, we use a thorough, licensed procedure to ensure your fumigation is effective, safe, and hassle-free:
Inspection & Assessment
Our certified inspector reviews your property to determine if fumigation is the right approach for the type and extent of infestation.
Scheduling & Permits
Once approved, we arrange your fumigation date and handle all necessary permits with local or state authorities.
Tenting & Containment
Your home is carefully enclosed with heavy-duty tarps, fully sealed to hold the fumigant gas inside.
Fumigant Application
We introduce the fumigant into the sealed structure, ensuring it penetrates deep into all affected areas.
Aeration & Safety Check
After treatment, we ventilate the home through a controlled aeration process, then test the air to confirm safety before providing clearance for you to return.
How to Prepare for Fumigation
-
Getting your home ready is a crucial part of making fumigation successful. We’ll provide you with a full checklist, but here are some of the most important steps:
-
Remove all people, pets, and plants from your home before treatment begins.
-
Use the Nylofume bags we supply to double-bag all food and medications.
-
Unplug appliances and leave inside doors open so the fumigant can flow freely.
-
Arrange accommodations for 2–3 nights since you won’t be able to re-enter until clearance is complete.
