Protecting Your Home from Drywood Termites

At Security Termite & Pest Control, we are licensed and insured to provide professional fumigation services. Since 1985, our experienced team has helped homeowners in Southwest Florida protect their most valuable investment. We handle this comprehensive process with the utmost safety and professionalism.

Do You Need Fumigation for Your Fort Myers Home?
Fumigation, or "tenting," is a highly specialized service reserved for severe pest infestations that cannot be controlled by other methods. It is the gold standard for eliminating 100% of certain pests from a structure.
You may need fumigation if you are experiencing:
- Widespread Drywood Termites: This is the most common reason for fumigation in Florida. If termites are found in multiple areas, such as the attic, window frames, and furniture, fumigation is the only way to ensure total colony eradication.
- Multiple Termite Colonies: Drywood termites do not need ground contact and can establish many separate colonies throughout a home. Spot treatments will miss these hidden colonies.
- Severe Bed Bug Infestations: In extreme cases where bed bugs have spread deep into walls, furniture, and voids, fumigation may be recommended.
- Powderpost Beetles: These wood-boring beetles can infest hardwood floors, furniture, and structural timbers, often requiring whole-structure treatment to eliminate.
A thorough inspection by a licensed professional is required to determine if fumigation is the right solution for your specific pest problem.
We strive to keep your home safe and pest-free every day. If you’re happy with our service, please take a moment to leave us a 5-star review. Your kind words help us grow and continue protecting more families like yours!
