When drywood termite damage is spread across multiple wall sections or floors, spot treatment can't reach every colony — tent fumigation with sulfuryl fluoride is what clears the entire structure at once. Because the gas penetrates solid wood rather than just surface cracks, fumigation reaches colonies living deep inside framing that no injection or spray treatment could ever access.
A licensed fumigator walks the structure with you to explain exactly what tenting involves before you commit.


Every fumigation job is directed by a technician holding a specific state fumigation license, separate from standard pest licensing.
Scheduling accounts for your move-out and move-back-in dates so the process is as predictable as possible.
Pricing is quoted based on structure size and tenting complexity, given in full before any tarps go up.
Our tenting equipment and gas detection tools meet state fumigation compliance requirements at every stage.
Tenting reaches areas spot treatment physically cannot — inside solid wood framing, not just surface-level cracks.
When drywood termite colonies are spread across multiple areas of a structure, fumigation eliminates all of them in one treatment.
We provide a full prep checklist covering food removal, plant relocation, and pet arrangements before tenting day.
After gas exposure, the structure is aerated and tested with certified equipment before we clear it safe for re-entry.
We manage the added complexity of fumigating occupied multi-unit buildings with proper notice and scheduling.
You'll receive full documentation of the fumigation, including gas application records and clearance certification.

Tell dispatch about the extent of damage found so a licensed fumigator can assess whether tenting is the right call.
Our fumigation lead arrives to walk the property and explain the process before any commitment is made.
We provide a full written quote and a prep checklist covering what needs to leave the structure before tenting day.
The structure is tented, treated, aerated, and clearance-tested before we certify it safe for re-entry.
Our drywood termite damage was spread across two floors and spot treatment just wasn't going to cut it. The fumigation team walked us through every step of the tenting process.
As a property manager for a multi-unit building, coordinating tenant notification for fumigation seemed daunting, but Nex Pest Control handled the scheduling and paperwork.
Appreciated that they didn't just upsell us into tenting when a smaller treatment would have worked.
Buying an older home with visible drywood damage in three separate rooms, fumigation ended up being the only option that made sense, and the crew explained every stage of tenting clearly.

Nex Pest Control dispatches licensed fumigators throughout Lowell and nearby communities for structural tenting projects of any size. Project size varies widely, but the same licensed oversight and clearance testing standard applies to every Lowell fumigation job we run.

A licensed fumigator will assess your case honestly and recommend a smaller treatment if that's genuinely sufficient.
We'll give you a specific timeline based on your structure size once the assessment is complete.
Most furniture and belongings can stay sealed inside; it's primarily consumables and living things that need to be removed.
The gas dissipates completely during aeration, and we don't clear the structure until testing confirms it.
Yes, we provide full fumigation and clearance documentation on request for insurance claims or property transactions.
Yes, we coordinate larger tenting projects including tenant notification and scheduling for multi-unit structures.
