Tent Fumigation in San Bernardino, CA
San Bernardino's inland location and history of agricultural use mean elevated subterranean termite risk — especially near irrigated landscaping and soil-to-wood contact points.
When drywood termites have spread beyond accessible spots into multiple areas of your San Bernardino home, tent fumigation is the most thorough and reliable solution available.
Tent Fumigation — Quick Facts
Why Fumigation in San Bernardino?
San Bernardino's inland location and history of agricultural use mean elevated subterranean termite risk — especially near irrigated landscaping and soil-to-wood contact points.
In San Bernardino, drywood termites commonly establish multiple colonies across different structural members. When infestation is widespread or located in inaccessible areas like attic framing, tent fumigation eliminates everything in a single treatment.
All tent fumigation services in San Bernardino are performed by our CA-licensed inspector (License #PR7791) and come with a written report, warranty documentation, and a free inspection before any treatment is recommended.
Inland valley homes experience extreme seasonal temperature swings that drive drywood termites deep into wall and attic framing during summer. Fumigation is particularly effective for these widespread, heat-driven infestations that span multiple structural members.
Peak termite swarm season in San Bernardino: April–June. Don't wait for visible damage — early treatment costs a fraction of structural repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tent fumigation cost in San Bernardino?
Tent Fumigation in San Bernardino typically costs $1,500–$4,000. The exact price depends on the size of your home, the extent of infestation, and accessibility. We provide free on-site inspections with a no-obligation written estimate before any work begins.
How long does tent fumigation take in San Bernardino?
Tent Fumigation in San Bernardino takes approximately 3 days. You will need to vacate the property during treatment and may re-enter once our inspector confirms clearance. We schedule promptly and work around your availability.
Is tent fumigation the right choice for my San Bernardino home?
Tent Fumigation is best suited for drywood termite problems. San Bernardino homes commonly face subterranean termite risk from soil moisture and irrigation. After your free inspection, our licensed inspector will confirm whether this is the right treatment for your specific situation.

How long do I need to be out of my home?
Typically 3 days (2 nights). You drop off a house key, we handle the rest. You return once our inspector confirms safe clearance levels.
Is Vikane gas safe?
Yes — Vikane (sulfuryl fluoride) is a registered pesticide used in millions of California fumigations. It leaves zero residue after the required aeration period and is tested by EPA and CARB.
Do I need to wash everything after fumigation?
No. Food items in hard-sealed containers (cans, bottles) do not need to be removed or washed. Items in soft packaging (chips, bread) should be bagged or removed per the prep checklist.
Will fumigation prevent termites from coming back?
Fumigation eliminates the current infestation completely but leaves no residual barrier. Annual inspections are recommended to catch any new colonies early.
