During tent fumigation, your entire home is sealed & filled with a gas fumigant, usually sulfuryl fluoride. This gas penetrates deep into walls, cracks, crevices, & hidden areas where German roaches live & breed. Unlike surface sprays, fumigation reaches pests that are out of sight, killing them at all life stages, including eggs.
When Tenting Is Recommended
Tenting is typically used when…
- Roaches have spread throughout the home.
- DIY & routine pest control treatments haven’t worked.
- Roaches are nesting in hard-to-access areas like wall voids & ceilings.
- You’re looking for a fast & complete solution.
Things to Consider
- Cost – Tenting is more expensive than standard roach control methods.
- Preparation – You’ll need to leave your home for 2 – 3 days.
- Effectiveness – It kills all active roaches but doesn’t prevent future infestations, ongoing prevention is still necessary.
Tenting is a highly effective method for eliminating German roaches, particularly in cases where other treatments have failed. While it requires more time & preparation, it offers a full-home solution that reaches even the most hidden roach nests.
