Spot Treatments Do Not Compare
Imagine trying to find a needle in a haystack. For a spot treatment to be successful, it is necessary to find and thoroughly treat every drywood termite colony in a structure. An infested home may have multiple colonies in different areas. Finding colonies is not easy — it takes a lot of time, effort and expense. Unfortunately, every home contains many areas that are inaccessible to inspection or treatment. Vikane® gas
fumigant penetrates the whole house, so it eliminates termite infestations in the structure — even those hidden in areas that are not possible to inspect or reach with a spot treatment. Spot treatments are not always 100 percent effective. University research comparing the efficacy of various spot treatments to whole-house fumigation with Vikane® gas fumigant documented that drywood termite activity often rebounded within one year after spot treatment. These researchers concluded, “Fumigation is a desirable treatment when total eradication must be ensured or when infestations are widespread or difficult to access for local treatment.”1
With Vikane®, It’s One and Done
And Vikane® gas fumigant is an inorganic gas that leaves behind no odor or surface pesticidal residue. Much like a deflating helium balloon, the gas quickly dissipates.
