Fumigation

Neighborly Pest Control holds an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars from 340 reviews.

Tent Fumigation in Santa Ana, CA

Licensed Fumigation Services for Orange County Homes & Businesses Since 2010

When drywood termites spread through a home’s structural wood, localized treatments can’t always reach them. Fumigation is the most thorough method available for infestations that have moved beyond what spot treatments can address. At Neighborly Pest Control, we’ve been providing fumigation services to Santa Ana and surrounding Orange County communities since 2010. Our licensed, insured team brings a full inspection-first approach to every job.

California sees approximately 100,000 fumigations each year, and termite damage costs in the state exceed $300 million annually. This figure reflects how aggressively drywood termites move through structural wood and how costly late detection can be. We recommend fumigation only after our technicians have completed a thorough inspection of the home or structure. Vikane gas fumigant is the product of choice for tent fumigation in Southern California because it penetrates all wood throughout the structure and leaves no residue after the tenting process ends.

We hold a 4.9 out of 5-star average from over 340 reviews because we keep communication honest and show up when we say we will. Our team includes Spanish-speaking technicians, and we offer free inspections and estimates with no obligation.

How Does Fumigation Work?

Fumigation begins after the home or structure is fully sealed and tented. Vikane gas fumigant is then pumped into the tented structure for approximately 24 to 48 hours. Because Vikane penetrates all wood throughout the structure, it reaches termites in areas that localized treatments can’t access. Once fumigation is complete, technicians remove the tent and allow fresh air to circulate through the building. Before occupants are permitted to return, a technician inspects the structure to confirm aeration is complete.

3-Year Fumigation Warranty

Neighborly Pest Control backs all fumigations with a 3-year warranty. If drywood termites return within the warranty period, we come back and apply localized spot treatment at no additional charge.

When Spot Treatment Is the Right Choice

Local treatment is a practical solution for isolated termite infestations that haven’t spread through the broader structure. Home and business owners who have had fumigation or heat treatments within the past five years may also qualify for local treatment rather than a full re-tent. Spot treatments are also well suited to commercial buildings and apartment complexes where relocating multiple residents for a full fumigation isn’t feasible.

Termites in Southern California

Drywood Termites

Drywood termites don’t require soil contact. They infest dry structural wood directly, typically beginning a colony by flying to a structure and entering through small openings in the wood. One early sign is frass: the small droppings these termites push out through tiny holes in the wood surface. Because they establish colonies inside the wood itself, an infestation is difficult to detect early, and damage accumulates quietly over time. Left untreated, a drywood termite infestation can compromise a structure’s integrity. These insects cause millions of dollars in damage across the Southwest each year.

Neighborly Pest Control offers drywood termite treatments including localized spot treatment, fumigation, and heat. We also provide wood repairs and restoration to areas damaged by drywood termites.

Subterranean Termites

Americans spend an estimated $4.5 billion each year controlling and repairing termite damage. Unlike drywood termites, subterranean termites work from the ground up, threatening a structure’s foundation by undermining soil and buried wood. Without treatment, infestations often require extensive repairs to the slab, framing, or foundation. Our technicians begin each subterranean termite case with a thorough property inspection to assess the scope of the infestation before recommending a treatment plan.

Neighborly Pest Control offers a variety of treatment methods for subterranean termites, and we provide escrow inspections for real estate agents. Under our Pro-Shield and Pro-Shield Plus programs, we return once a year for localized spot treatments to help reduce the chance of termites returning.

Schedule a Free Fumigation Inspection in Santa Ana

If you’re seeing signs of termites or you haven’t had an inspection in several years, now is a good time to act. Orange County’s warm weather drives drywood termite swarm activity, and early detection can make treatment more straightforward. We serve Santa Ana and communities throughout Orange County and Southern California. Our free inspections come with no obligation and no pressure, just an honest assessment from a licensed professional.

Call us today at (949) 990-3851 to schedule your free termite inspection or ask questions about fumigation and other termite treatment options.

Termite Protection Plans

Treating an active infestation is only the first step. Neighborly Pest Control offers termite protection plans that provide ongoing support against future termite activity after fumigation or local treatment is complete.

Liquid perimeter treatment

Both plans include the same warranty coverage. We recommend Pro-Shield Plus for homeowners who want layered protection against termites and other household pests. For more information about our Pro-Shield programs, call us today.
