As one of the trusted professional termite fumigation services in LA, we tent single family homes, apartment complexes and commercial buildings under license # 7487.
What is Fumigation?
Termite Fumigation, also called termite tenting or tent fumihgation, is a while strucuture treatment that seals your building under traps and releasse Vikange gas to kill drywood termites hidden deep inside wood. It is the most effective option for a widespread infestation.
Termite tenting reaches every hidden colony in one treatment. That is why termite treatment by fumigation delivers near 100% elimination while spot treatments only hit what the inspector can access.
Not sure if your infestation needs a full tent? Book an inspection. We recommend fumigation only when the damage is widespead, and we offer a foam alternative when the strucutre allows.
How Does the Termite Fumigation Process Work?
Termite Fumigation is a safe, highly regulated process designed to eliminate drywood termites throughout the structure. In California, licensed fumigation providers must follow safety standards established by Structural Pest Control Board.
- Treatment (First 24 Hours): In first step, the structure is completely sealed. After that strucutre is treated with Vikane® which is odorless and residue free gas that penetrates deep into the wood to eliminate al hiding termites.
- Ventilation (Next 24 Hours): After treatment, our experts remove the traps to fully ventilate the building. The gas completely dissipates into the air, leaving behind zero smell or surface residue.
- Safety Clearance: Before entry, licensed professionals test the air throughout the property using specialized monitoring equipment to confirmthe property is 100% safe to re-enter.
Getting Ready
Safety and Preparation Before Termite Fumigation
Termite fumigation is safe for your family and pets when you follow the preparation instructions and a licensed team runs the clearance test before re-entry. Our Los Angeles house fumigation experts handle every small detail as required by California law.
Outside, make sure the structure is clear so the tent can seal tightly. Trim trees, bushes, and plants at least 2 feet away from the exterior, and remove mulch, gravel, or any items touching the walls. A clean, open perimeter ensures the fumigation tent stays secure and the treatment works effectively.
We understand fumigation can be a hassle. For this reason, we have developed a planning guide to make preparation easier for you.
This guide will provide steps how to prepare your home and family before the fumigation. It will also answer many frequently asked questions.
To prepare for termite tenting in California, you must remove or double bag all food, medications, and tobacco in Nylofume bags, and clear vegetation at least 2 feet from the structure. California law requires it. We handle the details for you.
Notifying tenants
Preparing a single family home for fumigation is stressful enough but managing dozens of tenants adds even more pressure. That’s why we step in and take charge. We personally coordinate with every tenant, provide information, and ensure they’re fully ready for the fumigation to prevent delays or last-minute issues.
At no additional cost, we schedule group meetings two weeks before the fumigation, and one-to-one meetings a day before the fumigation.
Bagging food
Our fumigation technicians carefully bag all the food, drinks, medications (including tobacco), and other perishables to ensure everything will be safe.
This guide will provide photos how to properly store your items in protective Nylofume® bags provided by My Termite Company. Also, it will list the items that need to be bagged and ones that don’t.
Trimming vegetation
Plant Trimming for Fumigation Preparation
Our team trims only what’s necessary for fumigation, carefully protecting your trees, shrubs, hedges, and plants while ensuring the treatment is fully effective.

The best company to hire for sure! They gave me an appointment within a week which was amazing, they worked with my busy schedule and was able to come out on a Sunday and were on time! They gave me the best pricing out of all the companies I called, the work was done in a great manor, I didn’t have to hover to keep an eye on anything, they made me trust their judgement and work. Wendy is just so sweet and easily reachable as well as Alissa who was so helpful every time I called and answered all my questions when I called the office. So I will be recommending their business to all my friends and business associates! Thank you so much!

Highly recommend this company. They are a local neighborhood company that does amazing work and the prices are better than any other competitor I reached out to. I have used other companies in the past and this was by far the smoothest tenting process I’ve had. Brandon & Wendy were wonderful the entire process and always kept me up to speed on where we were in the process. The installation of the tent was seamless and the team that put up the tent were very professional and courteous from start to finish. I would definitely use them again!

Wendy and her team at My Termite Company are awesome! We have treated two properties using their services. They always respond fast. They kept me updated about every stage of the fumigation and repairs process. They gave me a fair price and took into account all changes that happened during the process. We are very happy with their work and customer service!
