What does tent fumigation primarily target in terms of termite eradication?

Tent fumigation is a comprehensive treatment method specifically designed to eradicate all life stages of Drywood termites. This method involves sealing an area, typically a house or building, with a tent and introducing a gas, usually sulfuryl fluoride, which permeates throughout the space.

The effectiveness of tent fumigation lies in its ability to penetrate deep into wood and other materials where Drywood termites might be residing. By targeting all life stages—including eggs, nymphs, and adults—this method ensures that no pocket of infestation remains, thereby addressing the core of the termite population.

This all-inclusive approach makes tent fumigation a preferred choice for serious infestations, as it eliminates the risk of reinfestation from life stages that might survive other treatments, which could target only certain forms of the termites. Consequently, by ensuring the eradication of the entire colony, tent fumigation provides a long-term solution to termite problems, particularly in structures heavily infested by Drywood termites.
