Insects We Target with Tent Fumigation
Tent fumigation is one of the most effective solutions for tackling invasive pests. Here’s a closer look at the three major pests we target with this treatment method and the damage they can cause if left untreated.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are experts at hiding in cracks, crevices, and even soft furnishings like mattresses and upholstery. These pesky parasites feed on human and animal blood, often biting during the night and leaving itchy, red marks on their victims. While they don’t transmit diseases, bed bugs can cause psychological stress and physical discomfort.
Bed bugs are notoriously hard to get rid of with over-the-counter solutions or DIY methods. A single pregnant female can reproduce quickly, creating an infestation that spreads throughout your property. Left untreated, they can make your home or business uninhabitable.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites are a serious threat to South Florida homes and businesses. These pests burrow deep into wooden structures, silently feeding on beams, flooring, and furniture. Over time, this can compromise the structural integrity of your property.
Termites cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage across the U.S. each year, and homeowner insurance policies rarely cover this type of loss. One of the most visible signs of a drywood termite infestation is tiny, dry pellets called frass. Termites push the frass out of their nests through small holes in the wood. Visible frass suggests that the colony is well-established and has already compromised a significant portion of the wood in your property.
Old House Borers
Old house borers are wood-boring beetles that target older structures, as their name suggests, but they’ll infest new construction as well. These wood-destroying insects cause damage by laying their eggs in wood, where larvae hatch and feed from within. The resulting tunnels weaken wooden surfaces and structures over time.
What makes old house borers particularly challenging to eliminate is their life cycle. Larvae can remain inside wood for years before maturing into adult beetles, making it difficult to detect an infestation until significant damage has already occurred.

Benefits of Professional Tent Fumigation
There’s a reason so many South Florida property owners rely on professional tent fumigation. Here are just a few benefits of this powerful pest control method:
- Eradication at All Life Stages. Tent fumigation kills pests at all stages — from eggs and larvae to fully grown adults.
- Deep Penetration into Structures. Fumigation gas reaches deep inside walls, ceilings, and baseboards, going where other treatments can’t.
- Treatment of Multiple Pests at Once. Unlike some methods that target specific pests, fumigation can eliminate drywood termites, bed bugs, and old house borers in one comprehensive treatment.
- Expert Dosage Measurements. Miscalculating the required dosage of fumigant gas can lead to a failed treatment. Our technicians are trained to measure your property accurately and apply the exact amount needed for total eradication.
When Is Spot Treatment Not Enough?
Spot treatments may temporarily address minor pest problems, but they’re not a cure-all. Here are a few signs that tent fumigation is your best option.
- Extensive Damage: If you’re seeing structural damage or widespread frass from termites, chances are the infestation is deep within your home and cannot be reached by spot treatments.
- Recurring Issues: If pests keep returning after repeated attempts to control them with alternative methods, fumigation might be the only way to eliminate them.
- Multiple Infestations: Properties affected by multiple pests (such as a combination of termites and bed bugs) will benefit from fumigation’s ability to handle all infestations at once.
- Severe Infestations: Spotting pests throughout your home — not just in isolated areas — indicates an infestation that likely requires whole-home treatment.
How Do I Prepare My Property for Tent Fumigation?
Preparing your home for tent fumigation ensures a smooth and effective process. Here are a few steps to get started:
- Trim Back Shrubs and Trees - Keep plantings at least 12–18 inches from the exterior walls of your property to allow the tent to seal properly.
- Double Bag Food and Medicine - Fumigants can permeate packaging, so all food, medicine, and pet food should be sealed in special fumigation bags or removed.
- Secure Openings - Pets, plants, and humans can’t remain inside during fumigation, so secure doors, windows, and other openings to avoid unintentional entry.
- Remove Sensitive Items - Take out anything you think could be damaged during the process, such as houseplants or mattresses and cushions.
- Arrange for Lodging - You’ll need to leave your property for the duration of the treatment. Prepare temporary accommodations.
Our team at Beach Environmental Pest Control will guide you through each step of the preparation process. We’re here to make sure the fumigation process goes as smoothly as possible, from start to finish.
