OMG, this is exactly what I was looking for, honest! I have wondered for YEARS how they do it, I only ever saw it at the end. I wondered "How do they have all the shapes and sizes..?" They don't ! Just a bunch of rectangles, clipped together ;-)

The molecules can in fact get into these places

@@Mark_conor As a contractor I've witnessed first hand from replacing windows a few months after tenting that there were still live dry wood termites.

and you would add?

You’re and idiot tenting have been a thing for a long time to eradicate not prevent 🤦🏽‍♂️ you start preventing after eradication

Yeah? You can also have reinfestation with spot treating too. Your always at risk of re-entry no matter what which is also a good case to to have a monthly or quarterly service on your home. Swarmers are not immune to Bifen

Yes, the point is fumigation will kill all, but the next day a new colony could move in. So really in states where termites are a problem, you need yearly preventative if not more often maintenance. My house hasn't been treated in 20 years and I was told I could do local treatments, and then have follow up plan. I think for peace of mind, tenting with a follow up plan is best. I mean like Ripley and Cpl Hicks say, "It's the only way to be sure," ruclips.net/video/nnHmUk_J6xQ/видео.html

yes , just walking on roof when putting tent does more damage in 90% of cases than drywood termite will do next 100 years. In most cases though.

Yo act like they are purposely trying to damage your roof tiles if your roof is old then yes damage can happen I would much rather replace a couple roof tiles myself than spend thousands on wood repairs which will require roof removal anyways so your point has no logic. And you can also fumigate kill everything and then spray wood or injection or bait stations the point of fumigation I think is to kill everything and start fresh and have yearly inspections and be vigilant 🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s cuz it’s the best. Spot treatments only get the spots it’s treating. If tomorrow the there is another colony in another spot we’ll it’s another treatment. Fumigation kills all no residue and eco friendly. Vikane is destroyed by UV after aeration. Also if you fumigate in California the company has to guarantee that work for at least 2 years. Spot treatments aren’t 100 % vikane KILLS ANY PEST; rats terminates ants etc

Lol yeah so the termites can reinfest the area, then you gotta spend another grand to tent again lol, then what does the fumigation company have to do? "Spot Treat"

Hi Jim. Vikane does not have the capability of leaving a surface residue, therefore it cannot be used as a preventative. Unfortunately, homeowners cannot prevent drywood termites. Even if you chemically treat all the wood used to build the home, the termites will eventually find a something to eat in the house. In our area of Florida it's pretty common to find drywood termites in kitchen cabinets, furniture, doors, and baseboards. Spot treatment is only a partial treatment that is used to treat areas that can be detected by the naked eye. Spot treatment will definitely buy you time but will never fully eradicate the termites. Tent fumigation will treat every single piece of wood in the home and will end the problem immediately.

Spot treat can be good for at least 3 months.

Jose Velasquez that is correct, but most companies provide retreatment warranties usually up to 5 years.

Yes. Drywood termites can theoretically come back the next day but this is unlikely. At the end of the day, fumigation is the only option a home owner has for eradicating drywood termites from a structure. All other procedures only treat part of the home minimizing the colony but not completely eradicating.

that's correct. any termite swarms that occurs during spring to fall can and will introduce new colonies and in four to five years you should fumigate again. problems can be exacerbated if your neighbors home is also infested and they don't tent when you do allowing swarms to come in contact with your home. fumigating every four to five years is highly recommended. most pest control companies will provide spot treatments, but not re-fumigation, up to five years.

Thanks for sharing. We will actually re-fumigate at no cost during the first year of warranty. If the warranty fee is paid every year the first year, we will re-fumigate for free also. We do not spot treat for drywood termites. Tenting is the only way to go.

Eggs keep hatching and termites keep swarming. Tenting is expensive

Marie you correct! Tenting sometimes does not penetrate the drywood termite eggs under normal fumigation procedures. However, newly hatched drywood termites cannot survive without the adults and the adults cannot survive tenting. As you can see the two cancel themselves out of the picture. Tent fumigation remains the only effective procedure to eradicate all drywood termite colonies. Here is a white paper written by Dr. Rudolf H. Scheffrahn, the lead entomologist at the University of Florida. Please let me know if you have any quetions. Thanks for sharing. flrec.ifas.ufl.edu/media/flrecifasufledu/pdfs/DrywoodTermiteControl.pdf

Right and thats the problem.

Will the fumigation kill all termite eggs? Vikane is not an ovicide and therefore will not directly kill termite eggs. However, as the eggs hatch, the larvae rely on worker termites for survival and will quickly die in their absence.

Yes they do. Depends on which WDO you are dealing with.

If left alone, all termites can cause serious damage. Drywood termite colonies are smaller than the notorious subterranean termites, therefore damage tends to be less severe. Almost every home in our area of Florida has drywood termite damage but this is nothing to loose sleep over. The best solution is to tent the home immediately and keep a close eye out for fresh signs of new infestations. Thanks for sharing with us.

+narvaez3100 Thank you for watching our video. We follow the label and use the Douglas Products fumiguide calculator to determine how long the tent stays on the home. Our aeration procedure is designed with our customers safety as the number one priority. Some companies may take less time to aerate, but we like to follow a system that has kept our customers safe over the years. We appreciate you leaving us a comment on the forum and we look forward to hearing from you again.
