Case Study
Drywood Termite Fumigation Preserves Original Framing in a 1938 River Oaks Home
The Problem
A River Oaks homeowner discovered drywood termite galleries in the original heart pine roof framing of their 1938 colonial home during a renovation project. The extent of the infestation — spread across three attic zones — exceeded what spot treatment could address, and the homeowner wanted to preserve the original framing rather than replace affected timbers.
Our Solution
David confirmed the infestation extent through a detailed attic inspection, coordinated logistics with the homeowner and adjacent neighbors, and managed the full fumigation timeline. The process was scheduled to minimize the homeowner's time away and coordinated with their renovation contractor so re-entry timing aligned with the construction schedule.
The Outcome
Post-fumigation inspection confirmed complete elimination of all drywood termite activity. The original heart pine framing was preserved, and a preventative perimeter treatment was added to address any secondary subterranean risk. The homeowner completed their renovation on schedule.
Termite Fumigation FAQs for River Oaks Homeowners
When is fumigation the right choice versus spot treatment for drywood termites?
Fumigation is recommended when drywood termite activity is spread across multiple zones of the structure — particularly attic framing, multiple rooms, or large structural timbers — where spot treatment would not reach all colonies. David will inspect and give you an honest recommendation based on what he finds, not what generates the highest ticket.
How long will we need to be out of our River Oaks home during fumigation?
Most structural fumigations require homeowners to vacate for 2–3 nights. The exact timeline depends on the structure's size and the fumigation protocol used. We'll give you a specific timeline during the pre-fumigation consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Do you handle the neighbor notification requirement?
Yes. State and local regulations require adjacent neighbor notification before structural fumigation. David manages this process on your behalf, ensuring all required notifications are completed properly and on schedule.
Is termite fumigation safe for our historic home's materials?
Yes. Structural fumigants do not leave chemical residue on surfaces, wood, or fabrics. Original millwork, hardwood floors, and architectural elements are not affected by the fumigation process. Your home's historic materials are safe throughout the treatment.
What do we need to remove from the home before fumigation?
We'll provide a complete pre-fumigation checklist. Generally, you'll need to remove or bag food items, medications, and plants. David walks you through exactly what needs to be done during the pre-fumigation consultation — nothing is left to guesswork.
Will I need any follow-up treatment after fumigation?
Fumigation eliminates all drywood termite colonies present in the structure at the time of treatment. We recommend a follow-up inspection 30–60 days later to confirm results and assess whether any preventative measures — such as a perimeter liquid barrier — would help protect against future infestations from the soil.
